Probably because so many modern leftists like to keep bringing up slavery as though it were the original sin of America and only America, which naturally provokes an overreaction.
No doubt. The CSA was a creation of the Democrat Party.
Today’s democrats do all they can to obscure that fact.
If there’s one reason I hate Joe Biden, perhaps more than any other is when he said of Republicans “They want to put y’all back in chains’’.

I think there's no need for us to argue with Democrats over slavery, so long as they admit that Democrats were the slavers, Democrats declared secession, Democrats declared and waged war against the United States and after the Civil War & Reconstruction, Democrats replaced slavery with Black Codes, Jim Crow, KKK enforcers, voting restrictions and official segregation.
So, once we understand who's to blame -- Democrats -- then we can go ahead and talk about all the evils of slavery and segregation anybody wants to.
Republicans won't ever defend any of that.
