Neither Jefferson Davis nor Robert E. Lee were ever in the KKK....

I don't apologize for slavery or segregation, I woulda voted for Wallace . The Union had just as evil groups like the Bald Knobbers, the KKK was just more resilient. The KKK was just the radical arm of the Golden Circle.

I'd have voted for Wallace myself, shit! Y'all know what I reckon to the current state of this union.

Wallace was very Trumpian during his campaign. My Grandparents voted for him. I have an 8x10 signed copy of his picture in our house.

The slaveholding Class predominantly was, however.

This is another lie taught by liberal Republicans.

It’s not a lie here in Louisiana.

Virginia May well have been different and it was different.

Okay, point taken.

"Dems are the real raycists". Only a smattering of former Confederate Generals were ever in the KKK, and most Democrats were not even in it. That's another reason people are just too stupid to know real history. The "party of Lincoln" was full of liberals. The Republicans weren't really conservative until Ronald Regan took things over. Why do Neo Con Republicans keep spreading lies? Trump really shook things up, and he's showing the true colors of the libtard Republicans.

GOP was founded on ending slavery. From the beginning is was pro business, banks, railroads, manufacturing, farmers, higher tariffs to protect industry. It was also very Protestant. In 2012 the majority of Catholics elected to congress were Republican, first time ever.

Replace "ending slavery", with rich bankers from the North who wanted to increase taxes on trade and control the Southern economy. Then you have it. Democrats were for open markets and free trade. Jefferson Davis was a conservative.

free trade open markets bro, "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men". https://books.google.com/books?id=Ma...page&q&f=false

They weren't really for free trade. Lincoln wanted to enforce tariffs.
