[Walt] even empowered the legislature to enfranchise Negroes if it wanted to.

What do you think, Walt? Did the legislature of Louisiana want to???

What odds would Las Vegas have given on that one?

Few people in 1865 were seriously considering voting rights for blacks.

President Lincoln was in that group.

Yeah, he was serious about letting the Louisiana legislature give the vote to Blacks if they wanted to.
