Slavery, the Civil Rights Act. It’s all about geography. It’s Northern ideology vs Southern Ideology. Northern Republicans and Democrats, were for the CRA, Southern Republicans and Democrats were against.
True. But again, the northern Dem support was higher than the northern GOP support AND the southern Dem support was higher than the Southern GOP support. (By percent)
There is no doubt in my mind that today’s republicans would be on the side of the abolitionists in 1864, especially those in the south. Wouldn’t you agree?
The abolitionist movement was populated primarily by conservative white protestants.
The CRA was pushed through by probably the most racist president in US history and was only able to be passed due to republicans crossing over to offset the dem’s that refused to support it.
The democrats used to be a party of strong nationalism, pro military, and they have since become the party of liberal big, nanny-state extremists, pro-abortion, hostile to religion and corporations, that’s why people left the party.
There is nothing in the Republican party planks that promote white supremacy, so it’s ignorant to try and connect the two.
Is this David Duke evil nonsense a headline on Media Matters? If not I’m sure they send out their trolls. Sedition, not free speech. Time to close down Media Matters as anti American propaganda and expose their brigading minions. This is BS
