Something I was thinking about was the effects of the various immigration restrictions laws passed in the late 1910s - early 1920s, and the effect it had on the great migration of blacks to the North.
If these laws weren't passed and you saw much less migration of Blacks to the North, could this end up hurting the Civil Rights movement. Specifically since with less blacks in the North means there will be less Black voters voting in elections, which would make politicians less willing to take their concerns seriously.
Also having a higher black population in the South could make Southern Whites more fearful about granting Civil Rights to blacks and could end up making Civil Rights much more violent than OTL.
Would this end up being the case. Or is the effect of the immigration laws on the Great Migration overstated and would end up not having that much impact.
