Treason is an old tradition of the Democrats that dates all the way back to the Civil War. It's in their blood.

Huh? Civil War period?

"Huh? Civil War period?"

Jack, most of the leadership of the Confederacy was made up of southern Democrats. The Democratic Party in New York was sympathetic to the South. See also the history of the "Copperheads", northern Democrats who the Confederates actually tried to recruit into some sort of a coup.

The Civil War is best described as the RAT Rebellion.
