Does the article mention that the slave-owners in the South were all Democrats?

Didn't think so.

Actually, there were some Whig slaveholders before the War. I believe Alcorn State University in Mississippi is named for one such. But there probably weren't any Republican slaveholders, given the rationale behind the formation of the party.

Someone is finally attacking Gone With the Wind for its portrayal of happy slaves and noble Klansmen? Hard to believe.

Does the article mention that the slave-owners in the South were all Democrats?

Reconstruction was a Republican policy. It was, in fact, the first attempt at restitution.

It was quickly replaced by Jim Crow, under the democrats. Both policies were extreme and destructive.

Or that the Treasonous SOB in the whitehouse at the time was a Republican?
