Weren't the confederates democrats
I don't remember us history
No bulli
racist spotted
I've heard of petitions to have Confederate remains exhumed from Arlington National Cemetery and just... Presumably buried in a trash dump.
And yes
In college they teach that Democrats and Republicans inexplicably switched every single position they believed in after the Civil War.
So they can maintain their superiority complex.
Im almost positive the democrats are still racist as fuck
They literally teach that the parties swapped.
Like joe biden with the "Mr. Obama is certainly more well behaved than most black men" in 2006
"Rich kids and black kids" biden
If the parties swapped, you'd expect Democrats to have fought for Civil Rights instead of Republicans.
The "different times" excuse kinda gets cut off at the turn of the millennia
@EnderOctanus so was it the republicans against slavery?
Right?
Mhmmm
Yes
Ffs
And Jim Crow
And most of the people marching in the 60s were registered republicans
But also a decent amount of democrats
50s and 60s is when the left started getting fucky
Oh kek
The south used to be completely Democrat. But in recent times more and more have switched to Republican due to economic reasons.
Daddy was a clansman a southern democrat, bedsheet robes and a funny lookin hat
Republicans tended to be more well educated on various topics, thus more open minded. This was a time when being open minded didn't threaten to remove all tradition.
@Ondsinet Confederates would probably be Republicans today. Some still exist, and they tend to caucus with the libertarians
In the purely political sense of the term
@Fitzydog But for different reasons
Yeah they would be in a very strange sociopolitical position.
Depending on their view of race equality.
From a political science standpoint, confederalism is closer to Republicanism than democracy
Likely neither party would want to associate with them now.
Race aside
Well yes their political system
That was a single issue
Idk
The north were just as racist
