请教一句难句

It would have been strange indeed if he had not been inspired by nineteenth-century liberalism,because it proved its worth for the cause of racial equality during the North-South crisis that eventually restate in African ASmercian emancipation and citizenship.

虚拟的语气我经常搞错。这句是什么意思呢？谢谢。

我试一下：
如果他没有受到19世纪自由主义的激励，那这就是的确奇怪了，因为19世纪自由主义在NS的历史紧要关头为种族平等的原因提供了它的价值从而最终重申了美国黑人的解放和公民权利。

我认为这是对过去的虚拟。
如果他受到了19世纪自由主义的影响， 那么it 将不是一件奇怪的事了，因为在南北危机中it有助解释种族平等，最终重新确立了黑人的街坊和公民权力！
但是我有个疑问，这句话是不是应该有上下文呢！我看来看去没看出it到底指代什么！！
或许因为我的水平不够吧！！供姐姐参考了！！

真实的情况是他受到19世纪自由主义的激励，对吗?

谢谢.
