Dinesh D’Souza, conservative writer, has had an open challenge for several years now to anyone who can find a record of even one Republican who owned a slave. A lot of people have mentioned General Grant, but to that, D’Souza replies that Grant was a Democrat when he owned a slave. (Grant came into possession of a slave, but gave him his freedom in 1859, before the Civil War began and before he joined the Republican Party.) As far as I know, to date, no one has disproved D’Souza’s assertion.
