“After Republicans won the 1st Democrat-Republian war at the cost of many lives to end Democrat slavery . . .”

I am thinking you are making a deliberate exaggeration to wrong-foot current-generation Democrats.

If you are serious in saying Lincoln and the Republicans used the military to violently overthrow the pro-slavery United States Constitution, then I’d like to hear your argument.

Thank you. And the question is, how many of them had Klan members in their family tree?

Their party was filled with them in the early 1900s.

Blacks were being lynched by them.

I thought some of the Whigs owned slaves.
For sure, no Republican ever owned a slave. U.S. Grant did - before he became a Republican.

The Republican Party was not founded until just before the 1856 election, Fremont was the party’s first presidential candidate that year. The Republican Party subsumed a lot of Whigs - but if there were slave owning Whigs, they probably wouldn’t have turned Republican when the Whig Party was going under. Dinesh D’Souza stands by the claim that no Republican ever owned a slave.

“Many whites sold their labor as indentured servants to pay their way to America.”

My great grandparents from Swedn were indentured servants.

Right. Check Anderson Cooper. Wealth came from owning slaves.

“CNN loves to push the white supremacist and slave owning former presidents card. Funny they want to go down that road considering one of their fading “stars,” Anderson Cooper and his Vanderbilt family were also slave owners. Not only were they slave owners, they owned slaves that were relatives of former First Lady Michelle Obama. Cornelius Vanderbilt, the great great grandfather of Anderson Cooper owned slaves, who picked cotton that would be sent north to New England. Funny how that works out isn’t it?” ~ https://www.pacificpundit.com/2017/08/22/anderson-cooper-family-owned-slaves-including-michelle-obama-relatives/

Barack Obama’s white ancestors were slave owners.

Elizabeth Warren, the fake Indian, had a great-grandfather who was an Indian fighter in the West.

Now these moonbats are going to nitpick elected officials based on what their great-grand grandparents did (legally) in other centuries? Sheesh.

Lincoln’s father inlaw was a slave owner. Possible making Lincoln a slave owner too ?

“Dinesh D’Souza stands by the claim that no Republican ever owned a slave.”

But D’Souza is not a source of high credibility. Fantastic guy! - but he is not a source of high credibility.

They want to remove American history completely but they want to use it when its advantageous to them in castrating their opponents
