The Democrat party had nothing to do with the Confederacy or slavery, but the party actually fought against slavery according to Wikipedia. Just read the entry.

George Orwell:

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.
And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Do you suppose Orwell would have been surprised?

Well into the 20th century, the party had conservative pro-business and Southern conservative-populist wings; following the New Deal, however, the conservative wing of the party largely withered outside the South.

LOL   Just forget about Larry Macdonald, Zell Miller, Sam Nunn, Scoop Jackson and others.
