Jim Crow laws? That was in the future AFTER the Civil War. Are you running away from you pre-Civil War argument now? Learn American History.

It was those democrats that you said left the democrat party

I thought this was about the 3/5th compromise, what did I miss?

 

[bigrebnc1775]

They threw away their membership to the Democratic Party in 1860...then months later threw away their citizenship in the United States.

No they didn't stop being a revisionist

Those democrats hated the 3/5th clause

It's relevant because they were democrats.
It's historical relevant.

No, its not relevant, because all the parties switch positions many times.
In fact, all political parties were always totally fake and irrelevant.

After the war and Reconstruction, they came back (not all of them.....many were DEAD now...)

Democratic Party - HISTORY

They never left the oldest political party in American history

Who was representing the Democrats at the Constitutional Convention?

No one, thank God. Or the framers might not have included provisions for manumission.

 

[struth]

And yet, it's the Republicans that fly the swastika.

no that’s the national socialist

Have not looked it up, but I thought the southern politicians loved the 3/5ths clause, since it allowed them electoral college votes based on slaves that they did not allow to vote.
Originally they were not going to get their slaves counted at all.
That pumped up their own white voting power compared to the voting power of individuals in states without slaves.

Democratic Party - HISTORY

That is the NAME, not the political POSITIONS.
All parties have switched political positions many times.
Modern republicans would never have voted for Lincoln.

 

[Rigby5]

They never left the oldest political party in American history

Yes they did.
The southern wealthy elite refused to have anything to do with the "party of Lincoln" until around 1980, but by now, all the southern wealthy elite have pretty much switched to being republicans.

 

[Rigby5]

no that’s the national socialist

National Socialists are anti-socialists, so are the right wing conservatives, which is the republican.

 

[struth]

The Southern slaveholders gave up on the Democratic Party in the 1860 election. Then the Southern racists gave up on the Democratic Party again 100 years later.

hahah that’s obviously a lie, Joey “racial jungle” xiden just got the party’s nomination for president.

 

[bodecea]

They never left the oldest political party in American history

Not only did Southern con-servatives leave the party in 1860....they left the country in 1860 a few months later....and then, after they got their butts beat in the war, they left the party again in the 1960s rather than give up their racism.

Excuse making by the racist con-servatives who now infest the Republican party.

We have these things called history books. Ever read one?

joey “you ain’t black” xiden is not a Conservative or in the GoP.

He’s the leader of the dembot party of the klan, just like his old mentors Sen Eastland and company

If you haven't looked it up leave your opinion out of it
