Abraham Lincoln was an abolitionist. This man promoted the passage of the 13th amendment to the constitution to stop slavery. In 1863, before that amendment was past he created the Emancipation Proclamation, a document that freed all of the slaves in the rebelling states. Republicans revere Abraham Lincoln as one of the greatest Presidents because he kept the union together.
The Democrats, the original pro-slavery party, changed to absorb the African American votes. Well, maybe the answer is not that simple. Maybe we should blame Johnson, Lincoln's southern vice-president for the hatred that African American have against the Republican party.
The white men's club, that is the Republican Party, and has been for decades, needs to start looking at who they are pandering to. In order to get votes, the Republicans in my opinion have alienated the base of the party, this has been a slow alienation. The Party went from stay out of my bedroom, and became homo-phobic. The party went from do as you like but don't hurt anybody, to we must tell you how to live. The new doctrine of social conservatism is just another word for "liberal".
With those changes the Democrats are now looking Conservative. THE Democratic Party is now stay out of my bedroom. THE Democratic Party is now the do as you like but don't hurt anybody party.
Which stands for freedom now?
The Democratic party stands for the freedom. The Republican party, the party of Lincoln, is for wage slavery now. The Republican party is for taking jobs from the American Public and giving them to communists in China.
The Republican Party has given the away their values to extremist religious zealots that want to run people's lives, just to gain power. That is pro-slavery.
I am a former Alaskan Republican, I was taught that the Republican Party was for freedom and the Democratic party was for taking freedoms and regulating everything. I am ashamed of my former party because it has alienated me.
Republicans are lost.
