  • The numbers are close-ish to correct if you are looking only at House/Senate voting. They still needed to be ratified by 3/4ths of states and these numbers clearly ignore what the voting results in each state was. They also did not have 100% Republican support, but close. Democrat support of 0% for the 14th and 15th amendments appears to be accurate.

    Also worth mentioning that all 3 of those amendments passed in just 6 years. It’s a very specific moment in history.
