In Texas' case, it took 146 years to partially restore the right that was stripped from the Texas Constitution by the carpetbagger government in 1869.

Correct. And Texas culture and attitudes survived Reconstruction (that R-word was not an accurate descriptive word for what it was). The reason it was not previously reversed is the POLs in Austin & DC feared the citizens of Texas. The citizens of Texas do not fear the citizens of Texas.

Did these pols magically appear in positions of power or did the citizens of Texas elect them as representatives for 146 years?
