Slavery existed for 209 years before the Democratic Party was founded. Republicans today love telling blacks how the Democratic Party was pro-slavery and how it was the Republican Party that freed the slaves. There is a lot modern Republicans choose not to blacks as they try luring blacks into supporting a move back into Jim Crow. First, not all Republicans were for racial equality.

BLACKS WERE REPUBLICANS FOR 100 YEARS! We left the party because the party never wanted us.

Point number 1: Republicans authored an amendment to officially make slavery a constitutionally protected activity. The Republican Party is the party of The Corwin Amendment that would have cemented slavery as a constitutional right.

Point number two: A Republican president, with the support of the Republican Party, ended Reconstruction. The Republican Party is the party of the 1877 Compromise that ended Reconstruction and paved the way for Jim Crow.

Point number three: Once blacks got a foothold in the Republican party and gained some semblance of political equality, white Republicans took steps to purge blacks from leadership positions. The Republican Party is the party of the Lily White movement, a group of Republicans who worked to purge blacks from the party.

Point number four: Republicans consistently broke promises or ignored issues that affected black people. When blacks got Civil Rights, the Republican Party did not believe that was civil or right and decided that extremism in defense of liberty was no vice. In 1964 the Republican Party turned its back on blacks after nearly 100 years of black support.

Point number five: Today’s Republican Party is controlled by a racist Anti-Black base.

You are correct, the GOP became racist so that the Republican Rutherford B. Hayes would become president, rather than Democrat Samuel J. Tilden a former governor of NY. Of course, it is not likely that Tilden would have differed much in his lack of support for "colored" people.

No, he wouldn't have, and that's the point. These Republicans keep barking about the Democratic party, slavery, the KKK, and how Repubicans saved blacks when both parties didn't GAD about black people. Yet my ancestors stayed faithful to the Republican Party for 100 years.

It was probably a better choice for the small number of Blacks that could vote, to vote for the GOP. But the Republicans after they Civil War mostly did not worry much about their nonwhite constituents.

It made sense for some of them to vote for Adam Clayton Powell in NYC.

Alternate versions of history really should be peer reviewed and fact-checked before publication.

Leftist rewriters of American history stupidly and falsely claim the KKK was founded by right wing Christians when in fact it was founded by radical racist southern democrats. Leftist rewriters of history claim Hayes was a racist white supremacist who fought against reconstruction efforts. The problem the lying leftist rewriters created for themselves is claiming almost everyone, including KKK democrats, opposed reconstruction efforts favorable towards black. No wonder democrat rubes brainwashed by democrat propaganda think America has always been racist and never a great God-fearing nation. All historians from both sides of the aisle seem to agree, however, that voting fraud was already a real problem by the time Hayes became president.

Of course sensible blacks of yesteryear would have found comfort in the efforts of Christian abolitionists and republicans to end slavery in the US.

NO, you are WRONG an cannot refute anything that I have posted.

What do you mean by "historical Americans"? Historical Black Americans? Historical White Americans? Historical Northern Americans/ Historical Southern Americans? There has NEVER been a time in this country when everyone agreed on political and social issues.

Black ancestors ftom Kenya owned their wives and children. They played the system.

How Many Slaves Did Blacks Own?

So what do the actual numbers of black slave owners and their slaves tell us? In 1830, the year most carefully studied by Carter G. Woodson, about 13.7 percent (319,599) of the black population was free. Of these, 3,776 free Negroes owned 12,907 slaves, out of a total of 2,009,043 slaves owned in the entire United States, so the numbers of slaves owned by black people over all was quite small by comparison with the number owned by white people.

As Woodson put it in 1924’s Free Negro Owners of Slaves in the United States in 1830, “The census records show that the majority of the Negro owners of slaves were such from the point of view of philanthropy. In many instances the husband purchased the wife or vice versa … Slaves of Negroes were in some cases the children of a free father who had purchased his wife.

Moreover, Woodson explains, “Benevolent Negroes often purchased slaves to make their lot easier by granting them their freedom for a nominal sum, or by permitting them to work it out on liberal terms.” In other words, these black slave-owners, the clear majority, cleverly used the system of slavery to protect their loved ones.


Now stop repeating that disingenuous racist bs.

The Black and Tan, and Lily-White (Political Factions), a story​


*On this date, 1870, We remember the Black-and-Tan and the Lily-White political factions. They were political coalitions in the American Republican Party in the South from the 1870s to the 1960s.

Southern Republicans were divided into two groups: The Lily-white faction, which was practically all-white, and the biracial black-and-tan faction, which replaced the Negro Republican Party faction's name after Reconstruction in the 1890s. The lily-white lobby was an anti-Black movement within the American Republican Party in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The alliance responded to the political and socioeconomic gains made by Blacks following the American Civil War and the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished slavery.

The Black-and-Tan faction sought to include most Black voters within the party. They often took a prominent part in the national conventions of the Republican party. One reason for the continuance of their faction was its effect in holding the Black Republican vote in northern states. The Black-and-Tans predominated in counties with a large Black population, with the whites in these counties usually being Democrats. Black leaders in Texas and around the country gained increasing influence in the Republican Party by organizing blacks as an important voting bloc via Union Leagues and the biracial Black-and-Tan faction of the Republicans.

Blacks comprised 90% of the party members in Texas during the 1880s. In the South, the Republican Party gradually became known as "the party of the Negro." The Democratic Party increasingly came to be seen by many in the white community as the party of respectability. The first Ku Klux Klan targeted violence against Black Republican leaders seriously undercut the Union League.  Following the death of Texas Republican leader Edmund J. Davis in 1883, Black civil rights leader Norris Wright Cuney rose to the Republican chairmanship in Texas, becoming a national committeeman in 1889. While Blacks were a minority overall in Texas, Cuney's rise to this position caused a backlash among white conservative Republicans in other areas, leading to the Lily-whites becoming a more organized, nationwide effort.

The term lily-white movement was coined by Cuney, who used it in the 1888 Republican convention to describe efforts by white conservatives to oust Blacks from positions of Texas party leadership and incite riots to divide the party. Some authors contend that the effort was coordinated with Democrats as part of a larger movement toward the disenfranchisement of Blacks in the South by increasing restrictions in voter registration rules. The Lilywhites were mostly found in the counties where fewer Blacks lived. Factionalism flared up in 1928 and 1952. The surviving Black-and-Tan factions lost heavily in 1964 and practically disappeared.
