I'm talking about the South of the 1860s. The 1860 Republican ticket got ZERO votes in the solidly Democrat South of the day. And the blacks and the southern Unionists were not Democrats -- they voted GOP as soon as they could. The Confederate rebels were all Democrats.

Democrats of the day perhaps. But you are being disingenous with your implications that they equate with the Democrats of today.
