Following the Civil War, 23 blacks — 13 of them ex-slaves — were elected to Congress, all as Republicans? The first black Democrat was not elected to Congress until 1935, from the state of Illinois. The first black congressional Democrat from a Southern state was not elected until 1973.
Democrats, in 1854, passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This overturned the Missouri Compromise and allowed for the importation of slaves into the territories. Disgusted with the passage of this Act, free-soilers and anti-slavery members of the Whig and Democratic parties founded the Republican Party — not just to stop the spread of slavery, but to eventually abolish it.
Blacks founded the Texas Republican Party. On July 4, 1867, in Houston, Texas, 150 blacks and 20 whites formed the party. No, not the Black Texas Republican Party, they founded the Texas Republican Party. Blacks across Southern states also founded the Republican parties in their states.
Fugitive slave laws? In 1850, Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Law. If merely accused of being a slave, even if the person enjoyed freedom all of his or her life (as approximately 11 percent of blacks did just before the Civil War), the person lost the right to representation by an attorney, the right to trial by jury, and the right to habeas corpus.
Emancipation? Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War. In 1865, the 13th Amendment emancipating the slaves was passed with 100 percent of Republicans (88 of 88 in the House, 30 of 30 in the Senate) voting for it. Only 23 percent of Democrats (16 of 66 in the House, 3 of 8 in the Senate) voted for it.
Civil rights laws? In 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed giving the newly emancipated blacks full civil rights and federal guarantee of those rights, superseding any state laws. Every single voting Republican (128 of 134 — with 6 not voting — in the House, and 30 of 32 — with 2 not voting — in the Senate) voted for the 14th Amendment. Not a single Democrat (zero of 36 in the House, zero of 6 in the Senate) voted for it.
Right to vote? When Southern states balked at implementing the 14th Amendment, Congress came back and passed the 15th Amendment in 1870, guaranteeing blacks the right to vote. Every single Republican voted for it, with every Democrat voting against it.
Ku Klux Klan? In 1872 congressional investigations, Democrats admitted beginning the Klan as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party and to re-establish Democratic control in Southern states. As PBS’ “American Experience” notes, “In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power. The most prominent of these, the Ku Klux Klan, was formed in Pulaski, Tenn., in 1865.” Blacks, who were all Republican at that time, became the primary targets of violence.
Jim Crow laws? Between 1870 and 1875, the Republican Congress passed many pro-black civil rights laws. But in 1876, Democrats took control of the House, and no further race-based civil rights laws passed until 1957. In 1892, Democrats gained control of the House, the Senate and the White House, and repealed all the Republican-passed civil rights laws. That enabled the Southern Democrats to pass the Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests, and so on, in their individual states.
Civil rights in the ‘60s? Only 64 percent of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act (153 for, 91 against in the House; and 46 for, 21 against in the Senate). But 80 percent of Republicans (136 for, 35 against in the House; and 27 for, 6 against in the Senate) voted for the 1964 Act.

The Racist History of the Democratic Party
http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/3554+
“History reveals that every piece of racist legislation that was ever passed and every racist terrorist attack that was ever inflicted on African Americans, was initiated by the members of the Democratic Party. From the formation of the Democratic Party in 1792 to the Civil Rights movement of 1960’s, Congressional records show the Democrat Party passed no specific laws to help Blacks, every law that they introduced into Congress was designed to hurt blacks in 1894 Repeal Act. The chronicles of history shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party legislated Jim Crows laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as citizens.
History reveals that the Republican Party was formed in 1854 to abolish slavery and challenge other racist legislative acts initiated by the Democratic Party.”
What this report does not cover is the forming of America and it’s race hate of American Indians. Racism, race profiling & Jim Crow Laws came from this BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS Indian Imprisonment Act from 1675 Antiquated Law.
http://www.unitednativeamerica.com/bureau/bwa_6.html
It also does not cover the US Government’s Manifest Destiny “Holocaust” Massacre War’s against American Indians fist brought about by Democrats in the 1840’s.

It also does not cover the Indian Nation Termination Act of all Indian nation tribal governments brought about by Democrats.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_termination_policy
Also Democrats race hate of American Indians, they implemented Forced Sterilizations of American Indian Women 1970’s.

Democrats never left the KKK, Senate Leader Robert Byrd KKK member Recruiter.

Nay...I have a very good neighbor who is black, great guy and family...
I would hate to put a barrier between us and potential cause hard feelings...
That is the agenda of the left to cause strife, hatred and division ...
I will not fall into their trap...
Her name really is Linda STASI and she is a real piece of work.
Google that name & learn more. She hates Pamela Gellar with a passion!
How appropriate: the author is named for the East German secret police.
Excellent recitation, but it left out Woodrow Wilson applying Jim Crow to the Federal bureaucracy.
Isn’t it curious that the left, who deliberately ignore history except when they feel it’s necessary to re-write it, have now got their panties in a wad over the Civil War? And as usual, their profundities are based on emotions, stereotypes and hysteria.
It's part of the Mississippi state flag so you could make the case that it kind of flies over the Mississippi capitol.
The Confederate Flag is a red herring. The true motive is to erase the democrats horrible racist history from the memory of the people. As they continue to rewrite the history book memories of their past evils are hidden and memories fade.
Within a generation or 2 there will no memory of the democrat’s connection to the KKK, segregation and slavery. Even now memories are being tainted. Ask someone what was the party George Wallace and most that connect him with segregation think he was a Republican. Unfortunately, many confuse him with the comedian George Wallace. Add that to the Dred Scott, Brown v Brd of Ed, among a long list of others and you have a real twisting of the facts. Just like in 1984, history is changes per the will of the media.
At least, after the first two paragraphs, she gets sensible.
Many thanks for the info, eddie01 !
She probably also doesn't realize that the Supreme Court, now so popular with the left, was upholding the Fujitive Slave Act against states like Wisconsin who did not want to enforce it. Presumably she wouldn't consider that opinion "settled law".
Yet another enemy islamist øbamite.
The invisible Red man. Speak up man, casino's aren't nearly enough for what you lost.
Hate to see the reparations bill we owe the Native American.
Confederate Soldiers are American Veterans by Act of Congress
And I want the flag back on the State House showing we took the deal for peace.
At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a move in the North was made to reconcile with Southerners. President McKinley was instrumental in this movement.
Under current U.S. Federal Code, Confederate Veterans are equivalent to Union Veterans.
All Veterans ARE still Veterans and should be honored..
Unless you are a racist against Southern Veterans.
U.S. Code Title 38 – Veterans’ Benefits, Part II – General Benefits, Chapter 15 – Pension for Non-Service-Connected Disability or Death or for Service, Subchapter I – General, § 1501. Definitions: (3) The term “Civil War veteran” includes a person who served in the military or naval forces of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War, and the term “active military or naval service” includes active service in those forces.
In 1906, Confederate Battle flags were ordered to be returned to the states from whence they originated. Some states refused to return the flags. Wisconsin still has at least one flag it refuses to return.
Honor ALL Veterans North and...... South

There is much to be said for the fact that it pisses off Liberals. If nothing else, that is it's useful purpose.
at least the confederate flag was a legitimate American flag.
the fag flag or mexican flag have nothing to do with the country and are extremely offensive to tens of millions of people.
the mexican flag in particular shouldn’t be flown, as its the flag of a foreign power with which we’ve had a bloody war
or have you forgotten the alamo?
