Focus.
What I was saying is the Republicans owned no slaves.
Remember when the Republicans fought the Democrats because the Republicans were against slavery and the Democrats were for slavery?
The American Civil War, 1861-1865.
It would have still existed in the non-secessionist border slave states, had that dumb ham actor not assassinated Lincoln, thereby destroying all support for the continuation of slavery. They could have contended with Lincoln the man, but not with Lincoln the saint. So the 13th Amendment was passed, and slavery was abolished in all the member states of the Union.
You are correct. Just as it is entirely untrue that there were only Republicans leading the Union Army. Several major names decry that claim:
George B.McClellan, Winfield Scott Hancock, Dan Sickles, Benjamin “Beast”Butler,John Alexander McClernand, John Logan,William Rosecrans, Benjamin Franklin Loan, Robert C. Schenk (Whig Republican), John C. Fremont (initially asked to be Democrat Presidential candidate), Nathaniel Banks(Democrat up until 1854). Lot of fence jumpers, for the opportunities afforded them in the winning side.
And notably the Union Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton (only changed to republican in 1862).
The fact that the Civil War was all about the Republicans freeing the slaves from the Democrats is one of the most hidden facts of American History.
They hide it to protect the Democrats.
You mean when Lincoln opposed slavery?
Completely and absolutely?
Quess what? Some of the people we inherited slavery from ... are STILL practicing slavery.
Lincoln was the kind of man who didn’t sell out.
Do you know how easy it would have been for him to settle for some sort of agreement instead of have a civil war?
An agreement that made him very rich?
Why do you think he chose the extremely difficult option?
It’s quite simple.
Some people are sellouts.
Others are not.
Lincoln was a man of character.
RE: Sen Kaine is not accurate here.
Well, don’t just stop there, tell us why.
The man who assassinated Lincoln was a coward and he did it for revenge.
A coward, just like the deep state operatives creeping around in the shadows today.
But don’t miss the fact that no Republicans owned slaves.
yes he is.
Great Post!
This guys either a dope or is furthering the effort to destroy the USA from within. I’m betting destroying the USA is his goal, with him in charge after the fact of course.
The Great Pyramids date back to the Old Kingdom, at least 1000 years before the Israelite's were enslaved in Egypt (probably more).
This man was a vice-presidential running mate to Hillary Clinton. Had she been elected and something happened to her, he might have been made President of the United States.
Makes you wonder if democracy is really a good idea. Yes, I know we have a republic. Still makes me wonder.
King Tut called, he wants Kaine to do the Funky Monkey.
Wow! I thought Ralph Northam was bad
