Explanation:

The two lines written above are the lines from the speech of Johnson which speak the attitude of Johnson towards this problem. It says that Johnson was totally against the problem of inequality. He could not bear the sight of inequality towards the Negroes.

He thought that even if a country conquers everything in the world and wins over all it's enemies also, then also it fails as a nation if there exists the problem of inequality in the country. For him, the issuing of equal rights for the Negroes community was a big issue that needed to be resolved at any cost.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
