      The implication is amazing too: "That was bad; the civil war should never have happened and slavery should have continued as-is. Cheap cotton and sugar treats."

        slavery should have continued as-is

        of course not. all abolitionists needed to do was vote harder. vote blue no matter who!!!

        (I am aware that it was the republicans who were anti-slavery)

          The modern GOP still waves that historical moment around to this day, too.

            Imagine the last time your group did something good was 150 years ago and you act like that's something to be proud of.

              they just use it to dunk on democrats as being "the REAL racists" but they know how ridiculous they're being, satre quote absurdity of their replies etc etc

            of course, they're always reluctant to explain why republicans became so popular in the south with the "southern strategy" lol

              They also neglect to acknowledge why they wanted to end slavery, not the goodness of their hearts, but because they were scared of a slave revolution.
