The Republican Congress at the time voted 40 acres and a mule for all freed slaves. The Democrat Andrew Johnson vetoed it. So, the Demoratic party should be held liable for what their President did and should cough up reparations for all Republican Blacks! Demorat Blacks can keep on voting for their Democratic buddies...

I saw earlier this very day that this promise came from General Sherman to blacks following his army. Of course any such promise by Sherman was hardly binding on the guvment.
