Wrong. Part of “Democrat” Virginia (AKA West Virginia) seceded to side with the Union and the State of Kentucky never voted to secede at all. Lincolns Emancipation only applied to states “In Rebellion” so both remained slave states until after the war ended. Slavery wasn’t until the 13th Amendment was ratified later on.
Yes, I know all that. But let’s not get bogged down in trivia. Keep it simple for potential Democrat voters of today.
Democrats held the slaves.
Republicans freed the slaves.
And as a side note, I was recently reading about the ‘Free State of Jones’. Jones was a county in Mississippi that sided with the Union, and fought the Confederacy. I can across the story by accident. Interesting stuff.

Slavery was a horror. Black Americans have accomplished so much.....yet there are times when I wonder if America would be better off if Blacks were never imported.
Guys like this are a weight, a drain, our our society and he is an elected official.
Weird.
