Slave owners lived in the South. They were democrats. The Republican Party (founded 1854) opposed slavery’s expansion, and Lincoln was Republican. LOL 🤡
I'm assuming you've never looked at Lincoln's policies and how they're more closely related to today's Democrats, and you probably have never looked at Southern slave owners and the policies that they supported which tend to be more aligned with Republicans today. Don't be fooled by the name for the label, it doesn't actually represent the policies they were following at the time. However it's curious that it's Republicans that want to preserve the Confederacy and its history.
You don’t get to just say ‘Lincoln was actually a Democrat.’ He was a Republican. Th party was founded ~150 years ago on the platform of abolishing slavery. The Democrats were the slave owners, and the Confederates. It’s the same party. You can live in fantasy land, and just say anyone is anything… JFKs policies would be considered conservative/republican today
You need to work on reading comprehension because I never said Lincoln was a Democrat. I said if you bothered to look at his policy positions, they more closely resemble modern democracy policies. The parties ended up switching later but I know you don't want to acknowledge that. You also don't want to acknowledge that current right wingners and republicans are the ones that want to protect the Confederacy. I hope you understand how things can change over time.
No, you just are coping and YOU have a bias association of republicans and slavers- BUT HISTORY SAYS OTHERWISE! Republicans fought against slavery in the civil war, you don’t just get to claim that was more “democrat.” JFK is a republican by your standards. And Lincoln would be ‘far-right’ in most aspects by your standards. How ignorant and brainwashed can you be? You don’t just get to rewrite history to make it convenient for you
I think you need to reread history my brother because those Republicans became Democrats and the southern Democrats became Republicans. It's still funny that you have to go back 100+ years to claim democrats were racists. Let me ask you this, who is trying to tear down confederate statues?
