By the way -- I have just as much claim as you do to glory in the Civil War for freeing the slaves -- none. I had a great-great grandfather who got as far south as Chattanooga and died of measles, one who got as far south as Corinth, Mississippi and got disabled from dysentery, and three brothers of a great-great grandfather who all served in the Civil War and perished in it. That glory is not mine. Those people are in my genealogical files, and I no more own their honor than I own the land that their families owned.

How do you know the Democratic racists have gone to the Republican party? The Democratic party has one running the great state of Virginia right now. I wouldn't be surprised if the Democratic leader of the House is actually one too. I doubt that most of them take the time to vote these days myself. I mean neither party represents their primary interests these days. If anything, they probably vote Libertarian these days. Yes, the Republican Party took over in the south after it voted to end Jim Crow along with northern Democrats.
