A Note on Slavery

Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.

Democrats and some modern historians would try to argue that Lincoln’s views were closer to the democratic party these days, but all this talk is lawyer speak for: we don’t want to be remembered as the party of slavery.

During the mid-1800′s, the south was mostly democratic, with the Republican party being born from anti-slavery sentiments.

It’s baffling how anyone could try to argue differently, but it’s not that shocking.

The democrats are attempting a new type of slavery now, so why shouldn’t they try to rewrite history? No, this is not a slavery based on physical restraints and this type of slavery holds no discrimination of race. This is a slavery of dependency, of giving up freedom in all areas of life.

The democrats are attempting to establish a dependency on the state. “What can the government do for you?”

After what Reid had said yesterday, which is just an echo of what many democrats have been saying for years, it’s important to look at one of the Republican’s slogans before the civil war: Free Labor, Free Land, Free Men.

Sorry to harp on this, but it offends me not as a conservative or a republican, but as a historian.
