In Back to Basics for the Republican Party author Michael Zak (FR's distinguished patriot, Grand Old Partisian) undertakes the heroic and herculean task of clearing the name of the Republican Party from the thicket of lies, distortions and misrepresentations which has been cultivated by the Democrat/media alliance.Do you include anything about the republicans clamoring for disunion/secession from the South before the war? Anyhing at all where Garrison et al call the Constitution a compact with the devil? Or that it was a covenant with death and agreement with hell?
Just wondering.

Some Republicans did indeed suggest disunion, but they were fringe characters by 1860. Garrison, the abolitionist zealot, had zilch political influence.

There are 7 words quoted from Wendell Phillips on page 78. Leaving the old power structure in place, wrote abolitionist Wendell Phillips, "makes the negro's freedom a mere sham."
