Democrats did everything you said and more, as much as I write about history I can't help but know that. Unfortunately, the Republican Party that was founded on the principles of abolitionism, started choosing power instead of doing the right thing. I trace their slide back to the contested election of 1876 which led to the Compromise of 1877 and the next year led to Posse Comitatus. By the end of the 1960s Republicans and Democrats have basically switched sides to the point where we have Republican white supremacists in the White House and you're explaining what is and isn't a Nazi salute. I didn't make this about Party, you did, Mike. The modern day Republican Party embraces racism and created the fake issue of DEI as a reason to carry out their plans.
