That factoid was lost on George B. McClellan when he ran against Lincoln as a Democrat.

And where did all the copperheads come from? Not from the Republican ranks, that's for sure. And if you'll look at the 1864 Democratic platform you'll see that there was a very prominent peace plank in it. So North and South, the supporters of the Southern rebellion were Democrats. Why is pointing that out wrong?

Nothing wrong with pointing it out. But what is its relevance today?
