no doubt the democrats WERE the party of slavery, emphasis on WERE, but look where that democratic party was mostly represented?






I wonder how many of those states are STILL democratic?

Which party did Robert kkk Bird represent?

So, what the OP is saying is that a support of slavery bred the Democratic Party.

it did, as the desire for peace bred the creation of nuclear weapons,,

progression/regression/morphing,,,,,,all side effects of time passing

So, the Democratic Party went from being the party that promotes racism to the party that promotes socialism.

and the republican party vice versa

Meanwhile, back in this universe . . .

never left this universe




all those 'socialist' values of yesteryears republican party,,

Oh look! It's an image that promotes a false narrative about the GOP. How original.

Obama won Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and Florida twice.

yes, i have never seen any republican wanting women to make less...

republican convention 1956 , of particular note


We are proud of and shall continue our far-reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs—expansion of social security—broadened coverage in unemployment insurance —improved housing—and better health protection for all our people. We are determined that our government remain warmly responsive to the urgent social and economic problems of our people.


We shall continue vigorously to support the United Nations.

Republican action created the Department of Health, Education and Welfare as the first new Federal department in 40 years, to raise the continuing consideration of these problems for the first time to the highest council of Government, the President's Cabinet.

The Republican Party is determined to press all such actions that will help insure that every child has the educational opportunity to advance to his own greatest capacity.

Republican leadership has enlarged Federal assistance for construction of hospitals, emphasizing low-cost care of chronic diseases and the special problems of older persons, and increased Federal aid for medical care of the needy.

We have asked the largest increase in research funds ever sought in one year to intensify attacks on cancer, mental illness, heart disease and other dread diseases.

We have strengthened the Food and Drug Administration, and we have increased the vocational rehabilitation program to enable a larger number of the disabled to return to satisfying activity.

We have supported measures that have made more housing available than ever before in history, reduced urban slums in local-federal partnership, stimulated record home ownership, and authorized additional low-rent public housing.

We shall continue to seek extension and perfection of a sound social security system.
