Part 3. Exercise
Comment: Yes, the DEMOCRATS were those things. Unfortunately for you, back in Lincoln's day (the civil war/end top slavery), the "conservatives" and the southern white christians of that era were the DEMOCRATS. Likewise in Lincoln's day, iberals were the Republicans. That's right, the Party of Lincoln was full of Liberals. Liberals opposed slavery, opposed segregation, opposed the ban on interracial marriage. Conservatives were PRO-SLAVERY, pro segregation, against interracial marriage, and the KKK endorsed the current president.
