If the Reps had punished the Dems following the Civil War, would this be occurring now?

What if, instead of sending a pack of greedy carpetbaggers down to purchase and fleece what was left of the South while leaving the power base intact, the Republicans had treated the Democrats to what most ever other rebellious faction in history was treated to?
The playing field leveled. No Jim Crow. So segregation. No Dixiecrats. Thoughts?

Yea, you do have the sides mixed up. Check out the history...the REAL history. You can refer to some of the older electoral maps if you don't believe me.

I don't think so. I think you're misreading what he wrote. Lincoln was Repub. and that's why the South voted for Dems up through Jimmy Carter.

The democrats have always been the party of racism and continues to be. White Liberals hate black people

Because Lincoln was the progressive candidate of the progressive Yankee abolitionists. Say what you want about the South, but they were the conservatives in 1860. Hell, they still are. Where is the hotbed of progressive Democrats today? The same areas that were the hotbeds of progressive abolitionists in 1860. Where are the hotbeds of traditional conservatives? The old confederacy. Sure, you can make some allowances for immigration patterns and the like, but it largely remains true even to this day.

It is like up is now down to you people. Facts and history mean nothing and you will just make it all up going forward. Willful ignorance is much worse than outright stupidity, although I suspect that many of you cover both bases. Out.

They did punish the Democrats after the Civil War. Have you ever heard of Reconstruction?

Of course. That was the period where Republican Senators and Congressmen, sent their ne'er do well cousins and brothers in law down South to buy up as much property and as many assets as possible for pennies on the dollar, while leaving the powerful Democrat families who were responsible for secession and war mostly alone.

Son, quit parroting Mark Levine and go pick up a book or two that wasn’t written in the last twenty years.

Democrats today = Republicans in 1860, and vice versa. Until the 1900s, Democrats were the conservatives.

Pretty much, but the economic disaster caused by Reconstruction was just as bad as the military damage caused by the war and created wounds that still, apparently, exist today.

Thank you... I've been busy and tired and frankly didn't even have it in me to start in on this earlier...

Go watch "The Civil War" by Ken Burns, the PBS mini-series that is pretty damned incredible...
Then watch "Reconstruction: America After The Civil War," another PBS program.
Or... there's hundreds of books... did you go to high school in America?

A third of us either wouldn't be here or have different grandfathers/mothers, and we'd all sound like New Yorkers or Ohioans.
Most rebellious factions are slaughtered, and then their entire families are wiped out.
