Democrats Have Kept Racism Alive
Townhall, by Nina May

There was a big problem with Barack’s mea culpa speech in Philadelphia,
defending his racist pastor, Jeremiah White. He failed to mention that over
300,000 white Americans gave their lives to end slavery. He didn’t mention
that in 1854, abolitionists left the Democratic Party and founded the
Republican Party specifically for the purpose of ending slavery and giving
equal rights to all those who had been in bondage.

False! Slavery ended with with the Emancipation Proclamation two years
_after_
the Civil War broke out. Then it applied _only_ to the Northern States, not
the
Southern States. The slavery issue was a cover, a fascade to hide the real
reason for the Civil War. Lincoln wanted to perserve the Union. A second
reason for the E.P. was to keep European Powers from coming in the war on
the side of the South. By giving the war a _moral_ scape, the Europeans kept
away.

This _is true_ however, slavery was _not_ illegal at the beginning of the
Civil War.
