And yet the alt right flies that flag with pride. :)
I don’t disagree with your meme, I’m just sayin there’s people here in Georgia who unironically has the rebel flag set up in their yards next to the Stars and Stripes.

I beg to differ, bud. Living with Northerners will also be worse than having a rebel flag owner as my neighbor.

150 years later, and they still think of them as nothing but slaves to be traded with no agency of their own.

Reducing people to a color, and seeing their sole value as nothing but a voting block.

That’s true, but the majority of Democrats leading up to Civil War and after were pro Slavery, supported Jim Crow era laws and were pro segregation. Now technically some still are, but those people are the minority.

False.
Southern Democrats supported slavery, or rather, viewed it as as an issue best settled by individual states, whereas Northern Democrats opposed its expansion into new territories and also supported a national goverment. The Southern Democrats ended up cleaving off from the Northern Democrats in 1860, having their own candidate. So the Democrat Party had two separate candidates running. The North, btw, being more populous, means the majority of Democrats were not pro slavery, or at least not in favor of expanding it.

As seen with the Lincoln quote, this was in line with his attitude, as well. He allowed the Border States to retain the practice of slavery, exempting them and captured territory from his bogus Emancipation Proclamation.

Further, round the 1880s, the Lily-White Movement faction of Republicans emerged in the South, seeking to exclude 'Blacks' from their ranks and favoring segregation.

So, no, as history has shown, slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, etc, wasn't so much a party issue but a Southern one. That the lingering beliefs of such is embraced now by mainly Republicans in the South is further testimony of this.

Also, for those not knowing, the Confederacy permitted no political parties, thus it being a Democrat vehicle is a ridiculous lie.

Yeah, southern Democrats did, but Northern Democrats were more apathetic to slavery during the civil wars. Originally when Lincoln was alive, Republican Party were abolitionists though
