Certainly, segregation and discrimination affected the entire country. It was a matter of degree.
It was not "actual law" in all 48 states as you claim, however. In our area, the public schools were fully integrated before the 1920s. The difference in the way African Americans were treated in the 1960s between New Jersey and North Carolina was quite dramatic, based on my own personal experience. I would never claim that the north was or is perfect; I am, however, sick and tired of attempts to excuse what happened in the south by the false claim that it was really no worse than the rest of the country.
