I read Shermans autobiography a few years ago, I was surprised he called the Confederates “Democrats” such as “We reached the top of the hill and found the democrats ready for mischief” I guess it makes sense as that’s what the Confeds were, but I thought to myself, “Aha, so Democrats were giving the USA trouble back then as well” 150 years later and they are still trying to destroy the USA.
Today he would call them socialists.
Democrats really haven’t changed much. Back then they supported an immoral system in slavery and today they support an immoral system in abortion. You can actually update quotes from Lincoln and Davis and they still apply today.
“If slavery is not wrong then nothing is wrong.”
Abraham Lincoln
“African slavery, as it exists in the United States, is a moral, a social, and a political blessing.”
Jefferson Davis
“If abortion is not wrong then nothing is wrong.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Abortion, as it exists in the United States, is a moral, a social, and a political blessing.”
Jefferson Davis
The only thing I can say about Davis and the rest of the slavocracy is that slavery was slightly less evil than abortion.
19th century Democrats were the Constitutional Conservatives of their time.
