Republicans were fighting back in the 1860's for the liberation of the slaves while the Democrats were fighting to keep the slaves in chains every step of the way.
Yep.
Thank you for completely and unequivocally endorsing and supporting my statement.
It is so nice to see someone who understands and appreciates real and true historic facts for a change.
We all know Republicans fought the slavery years ago.
Well, actually, not everyone knows that or appreciates that, but I am pleased to see you do.
Let me as well point out that Republican President Ulysses S Grant instituted The Enforcement Act of 1871 , also known as the Civil Rights Act of 1871, empowering the President to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to combat the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and other white supremacy organizations during the Reconstruction Era.
