Your statements are completely biased and pro-"Republican" propaganda. Political parties change over time, and now most of the former slave states in the South vote with large Republican majorities. As for Abraham Lincoln, as you seem to be trying to clean him up, you would know if you read any real history that Abraham Lincoln was an open racist who did not "free" a single slave. Lincoln only cared about "saving the union" and he personally used racist language against blacks and wanted forcibly remove them from the United States and send them to Liberia in Africa.  To quote from a speech of Abraham Lincoln himself; "There is a physical difference between the white and the black races which will forever forbid the two races living together on social or political equality. There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I am in favor of assigning the superior position to the white man." Doesn't sound like the non-racist you and other alleged non-racist "Republican" propagandists try to proclaim he allegedly was; along with the Africans you try to deceive with your lies.
