Lol. Or course. The few who helped with that are NOT representative of the majority of Northerners' sentiments towards blacks. If you have studied the war and etc. you should know that abolitionists were a minority. We hear a lot about them today, but they were only a small group of people and did NOT represent the feeling of most Northerners towards blacks. Again, have you read the post upthread about many Northern states barring blacks from entering and Northerners saying they want the territories slave free because they want those lands reserved for white labor and white labor only?
How typical, damn democrats, they're everywhere.
Blacks used to know which side their bread was buttered on, most black elected officials were Republicans until about 1935.
The Klan was a democrat domestic terrorist outfit whose purpose was to keep blacks from voting for Republicans....now they have been replaced by the "New NAACP".
Look, if you want to identify with the racist Southern Democrats, that's your right. Nobody's trying to stop you.
But I repudiate it and want nothing to do with it.
