Please be serious. There was no National Democrat Party at the start of the Civil War. There were three regional parties. The Democrats couldn't even agree on a candidate the party was so fractured.

And, um, people who start posts with "um" are fatuous poseurs.

People get hung up on labels. Today, JFK would probably be to the right of anyone currently considered.

Ike likely was too after all he came to power under FDR.
