The Confederacy was run by Democrats. The maintenance of slavery as an institution in the 1800’s has disturbing parallels in the contemporary Urban Democrat Plantations which are FAR more profitable to the Democrat machine than slavery itself ever was.
The presence of all those statues is an inconvenient reminder of those facts-and in fact the Democrat Party sees those statues as an impediment to the expansion and development of newer and larger Urban Democrat Plantations.
“The Confederacy was run by Democrats.”
Thanks for reinforcing one of our favorite ignorant memes. The Confederacy had no political parties in its brief existence. The Confederate government had almost as many former Cotton Whigs as it did Democrats, including John Tyler, former US President elected on the Whig ticket.
