Part of the Republican platform should be:
Republicans are the ANTI-Slavery party!
Republicans have been ANTI-Slavery since its founding!
It should be posted on every billboard in America. It should be a major part of every political ad.
It free money just waiting to be picked up.
The problem is that the Republican Party doesn’t fight.
It was actually started to abolish slavery. It was the reason for its founding.
The Democrat party is the party of slavery, internment camps, supported the KKK, eugenics, Jim Crowe, Dredd Scott, divisional racism, violence, racists, etc.
And define for the dummy Dems the definition of the word anti.
Well, what you say is true. Lincoln was the first Republican and freed the slaves. He was murdered by an angry demotard.
But there is just one small problem.
Everyone knows that every single Republican and every single Democrat switched sides back in the ‘60s or something. Didn’t you know that?
It’s true, just ask any demotard.
So now they’re the ones that fought slavery, and we’re now the plantation owners. So that explains things nicely, no?

The early Republican Party platform was to stop the expansion of slavery, not abolish it.
At least that is the way President Lincoln explained it.
The Democrat state of Georgia actually cast the decisive vote ratifying the 13th amendment.
This ship sailed many, many years ago.
It could have been done, and done very effectively, but the Cabalists who run the Republican party did not want to do it precisely because it was such an incredibly effective truth.
And it is amazing that anyone on our side still does not understand the nature of the Republican party. That party has zero interest in representing our interests, and that also has been true for many, many years.
I got booted from Twitter for saying that
So, you are technically correct, but they soon began advocating for the abolishment of slavery completely.
I lost a good friend because I posted a meme on Fakebook exposing the Dems as the slavery party...
Really? The “new improved” Twitter? That’s just WRONG! Even FB hasn’t flagged me when I post it...
That is an interesting comment. For the purpose of this post I'll stipulate you are correct: It was the hidden intent of the Republican Party and Lincoln to abolish slavery.
There is evidence for this position in Lincoln's House Divided Speech. And elsewhere.
But Lincoln knew about the Constitution's super-majority requirement for an amendment to overthrow slavery.
Do you have any inkling how Lincoln intended to overthrow slavery without the necessary votes?
If you think either party is a carbon-copy of what it was in 1860, you are sorely mistaken.
In 1860, the Democratic party was the party of low taxes, states’ rights and limited, decentralized government. Lincoln imposed the first income tax, gutted the Bill of Rights, stripped the states of their sovereignty, and created the blueprint for ceaselessly enlarging government the demoncrats still use to this day.
I’m not sure even he knew, unless his intention was to provoke a Civil War. Some suggest the FDR did the same with Japan, knew that Peal Harbor was being planned & did nothing to stop it. All to change the mindset of Americans who predominately wanted to stay out of the conflict.
Stop spreading incorrect information. Let's just look at one demographic. Black people.
In 1868, Blacks voted strictly Republican. Are you with me so far?
They kept voting Republican until 1932. Franklin Delanor Roosevelt claimed to be the president for poor people, and promised to do things for the poor. Well most blacks were poor and this message resonated with them, and for the first time in history, a large segment of blacks voted for the Democrat... and then kept voting for him for the next four elections.
But this wasn't a majority.
When LBJ came along, he promised a "War on Poverty", and he started sending government money to poor people, many of whom were blacks.
Black people started voting even more strongly Democrat, and by 1974, the vast majority of them were voting Democrat.
Now, they vote Democrat at a rate of 95%.
So do you deny any of what I have just told you? Did they switch from Republican to Democrat?
And it started in 1932, not the 1960s. The 1960s accelerated it, but it began in 1932.
Which makes it very strange that they voted for an Amendment to the Constitution to make slavery permanent.
The Corwin Amendment passed the House (controlled by Republicans) by a 2/3rds margin in March of 1861, then it passed the Senate (Controlled by Republicans) by a 2/3rds margin a short time later.
First Republican President Lincoln called for the Amendment to be passed by the States in his first inaugural address.
Funny Republicans who voted for slavery. Why it's almost as if they were lying about what they wanted.
A funny thing about the "Free Soil Party." It was headquartered in New York City, New York. It was a thousand miles away from the "territories" that it was so concerned about.
Seems to me that if it was legit, it would have been headquartered in Kansas or Missouri or something, but New York City?
I now think it had a lot to do with this:
