I came out of schools in the 1960s and 70s believing the lie that the Pro-Slavery Southern Democrats went through a name change. I remember reading in a textbook that in the 1800s they called them selves the “Democratic Republicans”, and later dropped the Democrat in the title, and became the just the Republicans. I don't know how long I believed that crap?

The Democratic Republicans became the Democrats.

I notice that wikipedia claims “...The other main faction [of the Democratic Republicans], led by John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay, formed a new party initially known as the National Republicans; it evolved into the Whig Party, the northern wing of which eventually became the civil-war-era Republican Party.”

This seems like another wikipedia prevarication to me, though I’m hardly an expert in this area.

I was listening to a radio program while walking the dogs and was thinking what a coincidence between your thread and that program. Check out the promo from the 860 WGUL email:

Patriots' Ink with Glenn Pav - Saturday 4 PM
"Hello, I’m Glenn Pav, Talk Show Host for Patriots’ Ink “Righting the Right.”

"My guest will be National Speaker and author of Stolen History, Frank Kebreau who says, “Slavery (the ultimate form of tyranny) has never been a battle between Black vs. White. It has always been a battle between Good vs. Evil.”

"Listen to this Retired Navy Lieutenant Commander and member of the Black Robe Regiment inform and inspire you to keep “Righting the Right” Saturday at 4pm on Talk Radio 860 WGUL."

He was interesting. For example, I had never thought about abortion the way he explained it. Since I'm looking for a good book to read, I think I'll pick up his book Stolen History. Thought you might be interested, too.

My previous post to you has an error from the website. His name is Frantz Kefreau, not "Frank".

His website is definitely worth a look.
