In
1861, Republican President Abraham Lincoln was often called Honest Abe,
a man of integrity. That was when politicians were held to the highest
standard of truth. He said slavery was wrong. Those words shortly turned
into Civil War.
The American Civil War (1861 – 1865) was a
bloody battle for and against slavery. It was a fight between
Confederates aka Democrats — wealthy plantation owners who wanted their
Black slaves; and the Union aka Republicans — true Americans who
believed that life was not disposable.
Black men, women and children had U.S. Constitutional rights to U.S. Citizenship and their own American Dream.
In 1863, with the war still being fought, Republican President Abraham Lincoln tried to stop the atrocities on plantations with his January 1863 Emancipation Proclamation.
Lincoln Led the Crusade Against Slavery
Lincoln’s proclamation turned the remaining Civil War battle into a crusade against slavery. The Union won:
Slavery was finally abolished -- slaves were finally free -- over objections of Confederates aka Democrats. Those years cost an unnecessary loss of life for a new country called America.
Democrates Founded KKK
In 1865, fresh from the death and destruction of war, the Confederacy aka Democrats, still didn’t agree that Blacks should be free men.
Possible Game Plan
After they lost the Civil War: Confederate “Plantation owners” learned they lost the bloody war.
History records that Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). The group’s goal was to maintain White Supremacy and control by threatening, intimating and even murdering Black people.
KKK basically continued to treat Black Americans with utter disregard for their life and liberty. Democrats and their Klan ignored the law. ///
