In 1857, the Supreme Court, with 7 of the 9 Justices being Democrat, decided that Dred Scott was not a citizen, but property.

Chief Justice Roger Taney, appointed by Democrat President Andrew Jackson, referenced in his decision that slaves were "so far inferior...that the Negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for their own benefit."

After the Civil War, Republicans pushed through the 13TH AMENDMENT, adopted December 6, 1865, officially abolishing slavery in America.

Once Southern Democrats were forced to free their slaves, they attempted to effectively re-enslave them by passing Black Codes and Jim Crow Laws which required former slaves to be "apprenticed" to "employers" and punished those who left.

Simply put, we must STOP the “liberals” from rewriting history.

If not Job One, that’s at least Job Two.

I've said this before. Mr. Lincoln's War was the Republicans (mostly from the North), versus the Democrats (mostly from the South, and slave owners). The Republicans won the war. They abolished slavery.

But as long as the dems are willing to give African Americans the bigger welfare check they will win the majority of the black vote.

“... as long as the dems ...give African Americans the bigger welfare check they will win the majority of the black vote.”.....

What more needs saying?

Republicans freed the slaves and the blacks have yet to forgive them! Bizarro world.
