They sure as hell were fighting for the republican Party, were they. I’m an American. Ok sure, I’ll get you voting lists form the 18060 election They were democrats in the South, they were the majority and had no love for Abraham Lincoln. And I’m not an obamahole or whatever it was you spewed out you jerk. I’ll never understand why you clowns come around a conservative website venerating Southern Democrats. You want proof the Confederacy was Democrat, Google it it.

Let me help your brain swell a little. It won't hurt since you have plenty of room. A head count isn't necessary for you to acknowledge that all southerners were not democrats, not even its leadership. History dictates it. Let me add since there are some big words in my post below, Constitutional Unionists or Whigs or Libertarians, implies something other than Democrat. Throw out your revisionist history. You can thank me later. On another note, I didn't call you an obamahole, I said that is where you are pulling your 'facts', such that they are.

Political Parties in the Confederacy

There were no recognized political parties in the Confederate States of America. Most Southerners, including Confederate President Jefferson Davis, opposed political parties, considering them to be a corruption of the principles of republican government. However, many of the members of the Confederate Congress were former Southern Democrats. A few had been Constitutional Unionists or Whigs. While there were no political parties, per se, Confederate politicians often divided over the issue of whether to have a strong central government. Nationalists, including Jefferson Davis, favored giving the Confederate government broad powers, especially in war time. Libertarians, led by Alexander Stephens, favored a very limited confederate government, reserving most powers -- including most war powers -- to the individual states.
