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.
After 1865 they owned them all, both black and white. The Republicans of that era were big government, corrupt, tax and spend liberals. They ushered in an age of "Crony Capitalism" that became known as "The Gilded Age."
They are very akin to modern Democrats, and they resided in exactly the same big cities that modern Democrats still control today.
