    Democrats then aren't even remotely like democrats today just like republicans then and now. And you will probably be stunned to learn that "liberal" then doesn't mean what you think "liberal" means today.

    But then again some people can't see past the bumpersticker labels that define their partisanship, particularly when used as what amounts to intellectual/emotional junk food.

    Technically that is true, but some of the thirteen colonies did have slaves:

    "Slavery in America started in 1619, when a Dutch ship brought 20 African slaves ashore in the British colony of Jamestown, Virginia.

    Throughout the 17th century [1600's], European settlers in North America turned to African slaves as a cheaper, more plentiful labor source than indentured servants, who were mostly poorer Europeans."

    You and your extreme left-wing anti-gun pro-abortion tax-raising government-regulating ilk.

    I have posted this example probably 5 or more times in the last 6
    months. Dinesh D'Souza is an Intellectual and also very Pro-America.
    But the Left could not have him making the case { by Documentary
    film and by book } that dismounts years of the Lies we've been told.
    Just like the KKK was an Invention of Democrats in league with
    southern Bigots.The Klan was permitted a voting block seat at the
    1924 DNC Convention.

    Because not even commies could support Hillary.,
    They went for Bernie and Jill Stein.
    We see clearly NOW who supported Obama.It was the vile
    Unamerican wing of the Democrat Party.The type who believe in
    Undermining the American People and hoodwinking as many Americans
    as humanly possible.Obama will go down as The Most Unamerican
    and corrupt President in American History.Making Woodrow Wilson
    appear almost saintly.

    That was the Democrats position and the federal government took that position for the most part. That is where the interstate commerce thing came it and returning run away slaves and taking slaves into to free states. And a problemed faces with simply freeing all the slaves but a law, the Constitution requires just compensation, how was that to be done. Of course the north depended on slavery too and there was no big move to ban it federally.

    Democrats have always been the party of slaves.

    One reason dems are upset with republicans for freeing them.

    Supremely dumb thread.

    The GOP was only founded 6 years earlier, with the main plank being opposition to the spread of slavery.

    From the leftist bible, the Huffington Post.


    Abraham Lincoln Was A Racist And Other Hard Truths From Our Messy Past

    Abraham Lincoln’s views on slavery evolved, but his public position until he issued the Emancipation Proclamation was that slavery should not be disturbed in the existing slave states. (Let’s not forget that on September 22, 1862, President Lincoln warned the Confederate states that if they did not rejoin the Union before January 1, 1863, he would free their slaves. If they had timely surrendered, he would not have issued the Emancipation Proclamation. It was as much an act of political/military strategy as an act of moral courage.) And since I’m destroying illusions, I hate to tell you this, I really do, but Abraham Lincoln was, like many white men of his day, a stone-cold racist.

    D'Souza is saying, you cannot NAME one Republican slave owner. The joke is, he's pulling your leg and watching you get angry. Go ahead, name one.

    KKK is a Democrat institution - established by previous slave-owners in defiance to the carpetbaggers invading the South after the Union Army won. Southerners were incensed that the Northerners would actually allow black men to sit in the legislature, own property, or be educated - so they retaliated against "uppity" blacks under hoods for disguise so the Union army would not identify and punish them.

    How is that different from the way the Left retaliates against "uppity" blacks today - like Kanye West and Candace Owens? Kanye, Candace, Diamond&Silk, Charles Payne, Gianno Caldwell are as threatening to the Left as a slave uprising.
