Why Are the Ex- Southern Plantation Owners Who Supported Slavery Now Democrats?

And please don't tell me how dem slave owners moved to the republican party unless you have some proof besides your opinion..because the dems I know--still call black people--the n word on a regular basis.



So why do dems act like their party emancipated the south?



The Civil War as fought because of Taxes--nothing more. Research the cause--North wanted to Tax Plantations and the south refused and war ensued...Why Are the Ex- Southern Plantation Owners Who Supported Slavery Now Democrats?
their grand kids are blacks?
Yes, southern conservatives in the democratic party did support segregation. But nationally democrats supported civil rights and that is why civil rights legislation has been supported by Democratic Presidents.



If you really think that the Civil war was fought over taxes then you really don't know much about history, so you need a lot more education.Why Are the Ex- Southern Plantation Owners Who Supported Slavery Now Democrats?
Dixiecrats left the Democratic Party for the Republican Party in the sixties because the southern Democrats didn't want desegregation and civil rights for blacks so they joined the pro segregation anti civil rights Republican party. Not every Republican is racist but every racist is a Republican.



Do you remember to breath all on your own or does someone have to remind you every now and then?
1) No southern plantation owners from the Civil War era are still alive to be active in politics.

2) Neither modern party can claim responsibility for the War OR Emancipation.

3) The Civil War was not fought over taxes....
Civil War fought because of taxes? What ridiculous revisionism. Even Alexander Stephens, Vice President of the Confederacy and author of the Confederate Constitution, admitted that it was all about slavery.
Look up dixiecrat.



Here, I did it for you.

Dixiecrats are now what is known as the right wing wacko neocons.
They're not. They switched parties back in the 1950's when the democratic party adopted a pro civil rights platform.
Those are some mighty old democrats if they used to be plantation owners.
