Didn't the Republican party free the slaves. I'm only a history major now so correct me if I'm wrong but the Whig which is now the Republican party was the party of Lincoln and the party of African Americans until FDR. Now you can't say that Republicans are the party of hate which you imply since a majority of Southerners are registered Democrats. Owen you and I see eye to eye on some things, but this definately isn't it.

Are you suggesting that the major parties have not evolved, campaigns not changed, since the 1860's? I figure you would know, being a history major and all. Enlighten us.
