Arizona is a red state. We weren't even in the Union until 1912. I don't believe we supported slavery. And Utah. I know they didn't have slaves over there. But, what do I know. I'm not elite enough.

Does that include Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, and the litany of Western states that were still territories?

In that case, it's time to coin a new phrase: "Bush Democrats."

That's really gimped logic by the rats. Democrats were (and are) the slavers. Republicans were the abolishionist party.

Iowa, Indiana and Ohio were the Union states that went for Dubya.

Slaves states that went for Kerry were Md. and Del. although both supported the Union (Md. only because Lincoln took put pro-union people in the state government.)

I was wondering why I supported President Bush, and suddenly realized it is because I am an ignorant, racist redneck... Apparently I'm real stupid, too... And I wanna own slaves...

Yeah, I'm warming up to those Democrats...

I hope that the idiot who came up with this has some Icy Hot handy. They're going to need it when they finish stretching.

Massachusetts was the first state to embrace slavery in the new World. They sold the Native Americans to the slave traders that took them to Jamaica where they were sold to other slavers. Massachusetts was supportive of slavery for a long time because it supported their shipping interests. So, where is the logic and premise of this article?
