Glad my state ,Maine, no longer has 8 EVS to give to the Dems...hahahahahaha
Has anyone fact checked this? It seems questionable to be a perfect match. However, I am from the Deep South, Louisiana, and the party of Jim Crow, segregation, etc, has always been Democrat. Ala Gov George Wallace, (D) stood in front of the school to prevent it from being integrated. Republicans never condoned any of this. Senator Byrd, (D), was once a KKK member. The Democrat party AND ONLY THE DEMOCRAT PARTY has been racist against blacks.
And the point must be that Liberals want to make us slaves?
Red States, Blue Cities
I seem to recall that Lincoln was a Republican ...
and that a greater percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960's than did Democrats.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Kansas (and some of the other red states) was NEVER a slave state. Whoever drew up this map is totally ignorant.
2. I'm fairly certain Nebraska, Utah, and New Mexico were anti-slave territories until SCOTUS jumped in.
3. The Jayhawks won Kansas.
4. The most anti-slavery areas were the RURAL areas, not the CITIES. The rural areas were FREE SOILERS.
5. The other major anti-slavery backers where what would be today's "Religious Right". Slavery was hated by them since it was unchristian. They believed the slaves never had a chance to find God and viewed the planters as lazy bums who fooled around on their wives.
I forgot the term used for it. Popular soverignty I believe it was. Kansas chose the form they wanted. A group of Missourians tried to flood it to make it a slave state. The Jayhawks were anti-slave. They was a mini 'civil war' in bleeding Kansas and the Jayhawks won.
Yeah, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that no state was totally blue, but there were some states that were totally red.
Thanks for the ping to this thread, mhking. Interesting to say the least. I'd like to see a true map from back then to see state line delineations, to see if this is really how it was back then. For some reason, it doesn't look right to me.
Hey Meek, this might be a good thread to place your most excellent NEW map!
Bump!

I'm guessing MeekOneGOP will post the map of it. I saved it to my hard drive and was able to enlarge it in a Windows viewer that showed individual counties within states. Counties within states varied greatly!
Who knows what those idiots are yapping about. Indiana was a free state that remained with the Union during the Civil War. Indiana's electoral vote has gone Republican every time since 1968. This DU thinking doesn't fly.

There it is in #39.Oklahoma is all red, and so is Nebrask, Utah and Alaska.
Kansas is amost all red, too.
