Time to do the same to liberal monuments

You do know the confederates are all dems, rightt?””

This was a Republican run committee that passed Warrens amendment. GOP runs the Senate. Blaming the Democrats is a diversion. They can’t pass anything without the GOP

“You do know the confederates are all dems, rightt?””

The Confederacy had no political parties. And the number of former Democrats in the Confederate Congress was only slightly larger than the number of former Whigs.

In the 1864 US Congress Democrats held 72 Seats vs 150 Republican. Lincoln’s own Vice President was a Democrat.

But why spoil the fairy tale version of Democrat/Republican history that’s so popular here.
