In a recent speech, Representative Humphreys suggested that some Southerners would be willing to accept a reduction of their representation in Congress in return for a repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Humphreys portrayed the amendment as an “incubus” that was sapping the South’s liberties. The article’s creator faults Humphreys for his ignorance and states that the Fifteenth Amendment will never be repealed.
