Not hardly. Been listening to way too many lefties. Don’t forget Dems founded the KKK, and the Dems were CREATED for one purpose only, to protect & preserve slavery. (Thank you Martin van Buren and Andy Jackson). Lincoln & Rs were the only party in US dedicated to ending slavery in the territories (which would end it everywhere).

Don’t buy DiLorenzo’s garbage. Read “A Patriot’s History of the United States.”

No Lincoln has been sanitized and over time the myth has taken over from the reality. I read an article by Dilorenzo recently about Lincoln. What caught my eye in that article was his mention of a book on Lincoln that told the truth about him rather than the myth, “The Deification of Lincoln”, by Ira Cardiff, publication date 1943 which I intend to read.

Your view of history is skewed and somewhat wrong. The Democrat Party was not created to preserve Slavery per se, although that might have been one aspect of it. It became the Dominant party in the South after the Civil War due to Reconstruction and other reasons.

The KKK actually went through three variations in it's history. The original KKK had nothing to do with oppressing blacks, it had to do with battling the Carpet Baggers that came south after the war. When Reconstruction was over the KKK disbanded. It did not become into existence again till 1915, and then had another transformation in about 1950. You can look all this up like I did.

By the way Lincoln was not that interested in stopping slavery, his documented remarks about Blacks are out there to see. You just have no real interest in researching this and finding out the truth. You are more persuaded by the Myth that has been written, much like we have witnessed by Martin Luther King and Ronald Reagan.
