Thanks for the feedback.
I suppose I could change it to something like this:
The Republican Party was founded primarily to oppose the expansion of slavery, and it eventually abolished slavery. The Democratic Party fought them fiercely and tried to maintain and expand slavery.
What do you think about that?
Also, what did you think about the historical accuracy of the rest of the article?
I just read another interesting thing about the democrats, the unions, and the Republicans. It pertained to social security. A moderate Republican from the Insurance Industry was an instigator, and the unions were dead set against it. They dropped their opposition, when flexibility to have their own pensions was added to the bill.
Yep that’s right those mean old Republicans who are accused of wanting grandma to starve. I was amazed.
