If No One Today Owned Slaves...

Glorious day. I put this lying faggot in ignore.

Convoluted stuff like this belongs in the history forum or the rubber room. Once again lefties avoid talking about real political issues when the Country is going down the drain under a doddering old fool.

You mean Dixiecrats?

The democrat party.

Then why do Republicans keep trying to talk about today's Democrats and slavery?

There is a lot modern republicans choose not to tell young blacks as they try luring blacks into supporting a move back into Jim Crow. First, not all Republicans were for racial equality. The Party had several factions in the beginning. One was the Radical Republicans. The Radical Republicans were for the eradication of slavery. They were not conservatives. Frederick Douglass was a Radical Republican. Lincoln was moderate politically. He opposed the expansion of slavery but did not believe in racial equality.

As the country began splitting up, a great panic started consuming the outgoing Buchanan administration and members of congress. They wanted to keep the union together. They did not want the south to leave. They did not want war. President Buchanan declared secession was a constitutional crisis and then asked Congress to develop a plan to keep the south in the union.4 He wanted Congress to assure the southern states that slavery would be protected once Lincoln took office. Congress offered over fifty different proposals trying to keep the union together. In the end, congress settled for a proposal by Republican Thomas Corwin. It is called the Corwin Amendment, or more accurately, the slavery amendment.

The Corwin Amendment is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that has never been adopted, but owing to the absence of a ratification deadline, could still be adopted by the state legislatures. It would shield slavery within the states from the federal constitutional amendment process and from abolition or interference by Congress. Although the Corwin Amendment does not explicitly use the word slavery, it was designed specifically to protect slavery from federal power. The out-going 36th United States Congress proposed the Corwin Amendment on March 2, 1861, shortly before the outbreak of the American Civil War, with the intent of preventing that war and preserving the Union. It passed Congress but was not ratified by the requisite number of state legislatures.

Several Southern states attempted to secede after the 1860 presidential election, eventually forming the Confederate States of America. Several federal legislative measures, including the Corwin Amendment, were proposed during this period in the hope of either reconciling the sections of the United States or avoiding the secession of the border states. Senator William H. Seward and Representative Thomas Corwin, Republicans and allies of President-elect Abraham Lincoln, introduced the Corwin Amendment, which was endorsed by the outgoing president, James Buchanan. Because it was only ratified in a handful of Northern states and Kentucky, the amendment failed to achieve its goal of preventing civil war and preserving the Union. Ultimately, it fell out of favor during the Civil War.

This was proposed by 2 republicans, it's documented fact and it's time republicans stopped posting disingenuous junk. Blacks know the history and the more you think we are stupid enough to fall for your tale and keep trying to tell it, the more we will refuse to become Republicans.

No one today owns slaves.

Dumbshit.

Certainly a possibility. He whines incessantly about horrible things done centuries ago, but blissfully ignores HIS people doing it NOW.


He's a contemptible swine

And the GOP are ignoring the court.

But I thought this Supreme Court was full of right-wing activists? Wait, I almost forgot, that is only the case when rulings are NOT in favor of the Democrats.

So some GOP Republicans proposed an amendment to try and appease the demaklan party and avoid civil war? And the Amendment never gained the support of the Republican Party?

Yet you blame the GOP for slavery and not your demaklan that fought to keep it?

Republicans were complicit in slavery and Jim Crow. It was a Democrat that ended Jim Crow and the very same year Johnson signed our second Emancipation Proclamation, Republicans nominated a presidential candidate that opposed the Civil Rights Act. Now is the time for you Republicans to STFU with your lies.

Republicans freed the slaves.

Democrats tried to keep the slaves on the plantations.

Democrats tried to keep Blacks from voting for decades after the Civil War.

Democrats only snuggled-up to Blacks when they realized that they could buy Black votes with welfare and statutes.

Democrats nowadays play the Race Card every thirty seconds trying to suppress opposition to their kiss-ass policies.

Republicans have always been more honest about race relations and moving minorities towards equality than Democrats.

I understand that the Alabama GOP is today trying to disenfranchise black voters with its corrupt gerrymandering exercise.

This in direct opposition to the Supreme court.

In Georgia Gov Kemp passed racist legisation to enable him tp remove recently elected DAs.

They are using this to persecute Fani Willis..

Of course I know very little about US racist politics.

Perhaps posters have other examples ?

Gov Kemp opposes removing Fani Willis. Why are you spreading lies?

 

[surada]

/——/ Dixiecrats=democRATs.

Dixiecrats became Republicans after 1965.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Gov Kemp opposes removing Fani Willis. Why are you spreading lies?

He signed the law enabling them to do that.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Dixiecrats became Republicans after 1965.

Which elected Dixiecrats became Republicans after 1965?

 

[Dragonlady]

OP would still be a greedy coveting retard. And slavery was not really wanted in America since its inception.

Not really wanted???? They fought a Civil War to keep it, you srupid dolt.

 

[westwall]

Srupid?
