I bet not 1 in 5 americans below the age of 30 could tell you which party lincoln belonged to, and I cannot see the DNC having any realistic fear of the fact that they were and still are (though somewhat reversed) the racial segregation party ever being brought openly into public discussion. Many americans are not educated in any recognizable sense of the word.

Notably, Mississippi adopted the current flag in 1898, unlike most if not all other former-CSA states, which did so in the 50's or 60's.

I have found over the years that no matter how often students are taught that "Lincoln was the first Republican president," most students will still identify Lincoln as a "Democrat," probably because it sounds to them that the "Great Emancipator" must have been Democrat.
