So there were no democrats importing slaves after that??

You learn something new every day here at Hannity.

The importation of slaves stopped in 1807… but you knew this, right? Maybe you actually did learn something today

Just kidding. pelosi’s father erecting statues of confederates was during another era.

Nope. Statues dedicated to racist losers are wrong no matter who is behind them

I don’t know what it is like to think that pointing out that Nancy Pelosi’s father did something we would all be mortified.

Checkmate Libs!!!

i wonder if those talking about pelosis father wish to discuss trumps father being arrested at a KKK rally…

Yep that’s why its primarily Democrats calling for their removal. Out of honor

Statues just standing there. Have been for decades. 99% of the protestor couldn’t tell you a thing about them (including party affiliation).

Assemble the mob!

Label everyone else “racist”.

It’s almost as if there’s an election happening this year.

Nah. It’s that people are starting to understand that these people should not be in a place of honor.

Like… why did Nathan Bedford Forrest ever have a statue to him?

What was that about?

not just a statue. an entire town. forrest city arkansas

I’ve seen the date, but forgot exactly which year it was.

So you’re saying that democrats didn’t import slaves, they just perpetuated the institution and continued the trading internally before seceding to preserve it, which lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

Any Republicans do those things??

The Democratic Party didn’t exist until 1828. So no, Democrats didn’t import slaves.

The people in the Democratic Party did perpetuate slavery and attempt to fight to preserve it. But yet, 2020 republicans are fighting to preserve the confederacy. Weird huh?

Who is “fighting to preserve the confederacy”??

2020 Republicans

“fighting to preserve the confederacy”??

This is news to me.

Was obama/biden “preserving the confederacy” during their time in office??

Ignorance or avoidance of history, namely the transformation of major political party ideals, is never a valid justification. Although people keep on trying.

Forcefield · 2020-07-24T17:54:11.237Z

Blaming modern Democrats for stuff the Dixiecrats did is about as smart as blaming modern Republicans for the stuff they sell at Banana Republic.

Pro Tip: it’s not very smart

So you can’t name any either??

How’s that “shift in ideals” working out for you??

No, they weren’t defending confederate statues. Or the confederate flag.

Hello everyone and welcome to our first edition of "NAME…THAT…REPUBLICAN. This is the game where we challenge you to name the Republican(s) who were in power for, voted for or participated in the following acts:

-the import of slaves from Africa
-the oppression of slaves from Africa
-secession from the United States of America
-the army of the confederacy
-Civil War
-“treason”

So everyone, it’s time to “NAME …THAT… REPUBLICAN”

Are you ready to smear the name of Thomas Jefferson, then? He founded what became the Democratic Party.

What about when obama attended the vance/aycock dinner??

Winston-Salem Journal

Democrats in Asheville surprised by Obama

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama made a surprise visit yesterday to a political dinner in Asheville, praising party candidates all the way down the November ballot.

Both of those guys were just voted out by the pelosi bunch.

You switched to “defending” now, but that’s okay.

Where was the mob then?? biden is one of the guys who was in office for 8 years. Now he’s your fearless leader of blm reckoning.

Not buying it.

Smear?? No.

We know who Jefferson was. I toured Monticello a few years ago. It was informative about all things Jefferson.

It’s our shared history. He can no longer hurt anyone.

You keep going further and further away from your OP. Why?

2020 democrats aren’t defending or fighting for confederacy. 2020 Republicans are.

No one is “defending or fighting for the confederacy”. That’s absurd. Election year nonsense.

I’m being dragged from my OP by tangential nonsense because no one can answer the question posed.

moonshine:

instead of name that republican lets play name that conservative,since the ones fighting to preserve slavery were all conservatives…

Who specifically?

Yes they are.

I did. Democrats didn’t import slaves. Democrats didn’t exist until 1828. Which was 21 years after the country ended the importation of slaves.

Southern Democrats DID perpetuate and defend slavery. However 2020 Democrats are trying to remove confederacy propaganda from public spaces while 2020 Republicans are fighting to keep them.

That answered every single one of your questions.

It’s the logical conclusion of your post.
