DEMOCRATS HATED LINCOLN

Democrats have not changed in 150 years they are still haters and foul mouthed liars!

I was reading Mark E. Neely. Jr's book "The Fate of Liberty" and found that the democrats were no better in the 1860's than they are in 2017.

"The Union with him in sentiment, rose to the sublimity of a religious mysticism."  With those words Alexander H. Stephens the former Confederate vice president, dismissed the constitutional ideas of Abraham Lincoln.  To Stephens, Lincoln's almost superstitious love of the Union caused him to misunderstand its Constitution and to destroy the country's liberties.  Though Stephen's words are often quoted, Lincoln's constitutional views were neither mystical nor mysterious, and their nature should no longer be in doubt.  The tedious historical debate over whether or not President Lincoln's policies were constitutional is a legacy of the brittle party platforms of a bygone era and the and the constitutional moralizing of Sore losers like Stephens."
  

The Democrats who had lost to this upstart Republican Party and their backwoods President with no great education nor national political corruption were outraged.

The Democrats screamed and moaned and claimed that Lincoln's policies targeted them and that Democrats were the principle victims.

This is why Southern States politics were controlled by Democrats who were former slave owners, traders, dealers in human beings and members of the KKK until the late 1900's.

The Democrats (no different today) say they are persecuted by President Trump and are the party of divisiveness, hatred, discord, intolerance and are the OPPOSITION PARTY, a party without the loyal part concerning AMERICA
