Ya know...if that were the case and freed slaves had full rights after that war and Jim Crow never happened, that might be so.If the Democratic Party wants to ensure that it loses the 2020 presidential election, let it nominate a candidate who advocates slavery reparations.
Have Democrats not heard of the American Civil War, where we suffered 670,000 dead and over 1,000,000 seriously wounded? The war was not fought to end slavery, but the war would not have occurred if slavery had not existed, and by the final year of the war the North was openly including the abolition of slavery as a war objective.
But Jim Crow DID happen and it was in effect as recently as 40 years ago...and its legacy is still with us
