Democrats Voted Against Thirteenth Amendment

The reason for that is simple. They supported slavery. Jeffersonian Democrats, also known as Republicans, gathered together in 1792 to form a party of abolitionists opposed to slavery. The party split later into Northern and Southern factions. By 1860, this opposition came to a head. Many Southern Democrats owned slaves and plantations and refused to give freedom to those they held in bondage. Abraham Lincoln formed the Republican Party to oppose the Southern Democrats and their policies. Interestingly enough, some slave owners justified owning slaves because they were giving them a place to live and food to eat. It was as if the slaves could not take care of themselves and they needed their slave masters. Slaves were not permitted to learn to read or write, just one more way to keep them dependent upon their masters. The Democrats of today follow the same pattern. The plantation is now the United States. Government is the slave owner. If the modern day “slaves” are kept dependent upon government to support themselves, they will continue to vote for the Party. Democrats have used this same formula for decades. Most people don’t realize that slavery in this country came from the English. In Britain, slaves were made not only of Africans, but of Irish, Scots, Catholics, or any group who the aristocracy deemed worthy of indenture. In the colonies, this became groups of wealthy landowners who kept slaves for financial reasons; free labor to support their plantations. Some in the United states opposed the practice and wished to abolish it in it’s entirety. Others wanted to abolish it in any new territories west of the original colonies. In any event, there was a political split and the Republican party was founded. Democrats in the years following the founding of the Republican Party opposed not only freedom for slaves, but also opposed women’s suffrage. Some Democrat Presidents not only opposed rights for blacks but openly supported the efforts of the KKK, an action group of the Democratic Party. I believe that today, that function is carried out by groups like Antifa and BLM. The Jim Crow segregation laws were supported and passed by Democrats. Even the Civil Rights Act of 1964, passed by Lyndon Johnson, was done only because of the burgeoning power of black voters in his home state of Texas. Democrats still believe in the Plantation model, and since the traditional groups who they’ve fought to control are now waking up to their tactics, they are in search of new “slaves”. I believe that these new people are the illegal immigrants.
