'WE DIDN'T KNOW" WILL NOT BE AN ACCEPTED EXCUSE
I know that it is not the main issue in your post, but if Senator Goldwater had been elected in 1964, he would not have signed the 1965 Civil Rights Act (assuming it had been passed by the 1965 Congress at all, without being pushed by LBJ), as he declared in his 1964 campaign that such federal statutes were unconstitutional since they interfered with states rights. Undoubtably, the history of the Civil Rights Movement would have been very different if Senator Goldwater had been elected President.
