We must remember who the true confederates were during the civil war - Democrats. Remember the Dixiecrats.

I see what you are doing. And I know you expect black Democrats to read what you wrote, become embarrassed, and immediately begin to vote Republican.

I hope it works. I really do.

Just in case, I think R's should develop a backup plan to appeal to black voters.

Dixiecrats were more conservative than average republican in their day

Stop. The Republican party of 1860 has the same political philosophy as the modern Democrat party. The Republican party was the party of Northern Big City tax and spend Liberals.

The Democrat party of 1860 was the small government, leave us alone, don't tax us, conservatives.

Even the strongholds of the old Republican party, New York, Boston, Chicago, are still liberal strongholds today.

The Liberals have always lived in the Hamptons and Martha's vineyard.

There were no political parties in the Confederacy. Their elected officials were a mix of Democrats and former Cotton Whigs.
