A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY

DURING THE 100 YRS OF BRITISH RULE OVER THE 13 COLONIES, THE
COLONIES FORMED A GOVERNMENT CALLED THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS.
THIS GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED LAW AND ORDER, PRINTED CURRENCY,,
REGULATED TRADE BETWEEN THE COLONIES AND "DEALT" WITH THE
BRITISH CROWN.

AS THE BRITISH MASTERS GREW MORE AND MORE ABUSIVE,, THE COLONIAL
GOVERNMENT REALIZED THAT THEIR OBJECTIONS FELL ON DEAF EARS, THAT
THEIR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS WERE SUBJECT TO THE WHIM OF A DISTANT KING.
IF YOU READ THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE YOU WILL SEE THE LONG
LIST OF ABUSES THAT THEY ENDURED FROM KING HENRY....

AS HISTORY RECORDS, THE COLONIES REBELLED, FOUGHT AND JUST BARELY
WON THE WAR AGAINST THE BRITISH "SUPER POWER",, WITH THE MILITARY
AID OF THE FRENCH. (THEY WERE REWARDED WITH THE "LOUISIANA PURCHASE")
AFTER THEIR VICTORY THE COLONISTS SET ABOUT TO FORM A GOVERNMENT,
A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT, OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE
PEOPLE...

DURING BRITISH RULE, THE SOUTHERN COLONIES BEGAN USING SLAVE
LABOR; AND THEY FLOURISHED, THEY GREW FABULOUSLY WEALTHY.
SLAVERY WAS AN INSTITUTION, A TRADITION ALMOST A CENTURY OLD.
DURING THE MEETINGS TO FORM THE NEW GOVERNMENT,, THE NORTHERN
COLONIES DECLARED THAT SINCE THE "NATION" HAD FOUGHT A WAR TO FREE
THEMSELVES FROM BONDAGE,, THEN THE NEW NATION COULD NOT ABIDE
THE EVIL OF SLAVERY. HOW COULD WHITE MEN FIGHT TO CAST OFF THEIR
ENSLAVEMENT THEN TURN AND JUSTIFY THE ENSLAVEMENT OF THE AFRICAN
PEOPLE??
(WELL, THEY JUSTIFIED IT BY CLASSIFYING THE AFRICAN AS SUBHUMAN)

THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE SOUTHERN COLONIES OR STATES, REFUSED
TO END SLAVERY........A COMPROMISE WAS MADE... SINCE THE NEW NATION
WAS TOO WEAK TO WAGE WAR OVER THIS ISSUE,, THE FOUNDERS WROTE
INTO THE CONSTITUTION THE OUTLAWING OF SLAVERY. THEY FORBADE
SLAVERY TO BE "PRACTICED" BEYOND THE ORIGINAL 13 COLONIES. THAT
WAS THE BEST THEY COULD DO AT THE TIME.....

SOME 90 YRS LATER,, THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE SOUTHERN STATES
SOUGHT TO SREAD SLAVERY TO THE NEW TERRITORIES POLITICALLY.

                   THEY CALLED THEMSELVES THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. 

THE "DISAGREEMENT" HEATED UP UNTIL THE SOUTH WANTED TO SUCEED
OR BREAK AWAY FROM THE "UNION". THIS WOULD CREATE TWO NATIONS
ON ONE CONTINENT WITH OPPOSING IDEOLOGIES,, A SURE DISASTER IN THE
MAKING.....
THE CIVIL WAR BEGAN IN 1860 WHEN THE SOUTHERN ARMY ATTACKED
THE NORTH AT A PLACE CALLED HARPERS FERRY,, A NORTHERN MILITARY
INSTALLATION. AFTER 5 YRS OF WAR, THE SOUTH WAS DEFEATED.....

FOR THE NEXT 100 YRS THE SOUTH (THE DEMOCRAT PARTY) WAGED A WAR
OF SEGREGATION, DISCRIMINATION, RACISM AND VIOLENCE AGAINST THE
BLACK MAN. THERE WAS LITTLE THE NORTH COULD DO ABOUT IT,, IT WAS
AN INSURGENCY...........THE KKK, DEMOCRAT GOVERNORS, MAYORS, JUDGES,
POLICE CHIEFS AND SHERIFFS, ALL CONSPIRED TO PUNISH THE BLACK MAN.

AFTER THE TELEVISION IMAGES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST PEACEFUL BLACKS
SHAMED THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT NAMED
JOHNSON WANTED TO PASS THE "HISTORIC" CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION IN
1965; BUT HE COULD'NT GET ENOUGH DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS TO VOTE
FOR IT EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE IN THE MAJORITY....JOHNSON HAD TO
GET REPUBLICAN VOTES TO PASS HIS "HISTORIC" BILL....

LETS REVIEW:

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WAS THE PARTY OF SLAVERY.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY FOUGHT A WAR TO KEEP BLACKS ENSLAVED.
AFTER THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WAS DEFEATED, THEY DID EVERYTHING THEY
COULD TO KEEP THE BLACK MAN DOWN INCLUDING INTIMIDATION, VIOLENCE,
MURDER AND THE RULE OF LAW.

CONCLUSION:

IF BLACKS CAN FORGIVE AND LOVE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY,, WHY CAN'T THEY
LOVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WHOSE MEMBERS FOUGHT AND DIED TO END
SLAVERY??????????????
