History tells us Dems were the Confederates who fought Republican President Lincoln against ending slavery in the Civil war. The first 16 black Congressman were Rep. The Dem' strong arm KKK fought against the Republican Party that was Founded Specifically To Abolish Slavery.
Dems who oppose focusing on their true history of the Confederacy should acknowledge that the Republican Party was founded as a Civil Rights Party, devoted specifically to the abolition of slavery. Dems lie, then rewrite to hide own evil history. It's no wonder Dems have shied away from having anything to do with their history of the Confederacy because history shows the Dem party truly is the racist party that has kept racism alive long into the 21st century, and after the passage of the 13, 14, and 15 Amendments.
