Democratic President Andrew Johnson

Unfortunately, he was Lincoln's VP and was elected as a Republican. His stance on post war treatment of the ex-Confederacy led to his impeachment and near (missed by one vote) conviction by his fellow Republicans. I expect democrats to make glaring errors like this when recounting history.

However, for the most part this list of de jure and de facto injuries inflicted on black Americans as part of a roughly 200 year long conspiracy coordinated and led by what is now known as the Democratic Party is entirely accurate. Unknown or forgotten by most Americans, but accurate.

Are you sure about this Katana? There was a time when the President and Vice President were elected separately. So you could have a President from one party and a vice president from another party. I had always thought Andrew Johnson was a democrat elected under that old system.

I don't remember precisely what year the change in elections came, so you could be correct. However many younger people assume that our current system has always existed. It is easy to make a mistake and think the president and vice president were always had to be from the same party.

Under the old system that was not the case.
