That sounds interesting. You got any credible background for that claim?
Andrew Jackson...founder of democrat party, slave owner....Martin Van Buren, founder of the democrat party, slave owner.
GOP...
The GOP was founded in 1854 by opponents of the Kansas–Nebraska Act,[11] which allowed for the potential expansion of chattel slavery into the western territories.
Upon founding, the Republican party supported economic reform and classical liberalism while opposing the expansion of slavery.[12][13] Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president. Under the leadership of Lincoln and a Republican Congress, slavery was banned in the United States in 1865.
