Democrats held the slaves. Republicans freed the slaves.
Funny how that isn’t taught in schools anymore.

Nor is it taught that the Union states still had slavery after it was eliminated in the South. Nor is it taught that Lincoln was going to make a deal to keep slavery permanently, but the South wouldn't go along with it.

There are a lot of things about slavery and the civil war that nobody is taught. Not just anymore, but ever. A lot of parts of it have been completely covered up by the people who won it.

They DO "teach" it...they just tell kids the two parties "switched". The slaveowners are now Republicans.

It never was taught. To the government schools JFK was the only president America ever had.
