The PROUD history of the Republican Party

Video Title :	The PROUD history of the Republican Party
Description :	The Republican Party formed by abolitionists in 1854 take bold steps in securing freedoms for former slaves until the Democrats regain control of Congress. Once in control of Congress and many of the southern state governments the Democrats once again stripped away the rights African Americans wouldn't again fully achieve until the civil rights movement of the 1960's. - In 1865, Congressional Republicans unanimously backed the 13th Amendment, which made slavery unconstitutional. Among Democrats, 63 percent of senators and 78 percent of House members voted: "No." - In 1866, 94 percent of GOP senators and 96 percent of GOP House members approved the 14th Amendment, guaranteeing all Americans equal protection of the law. Every congressional Democrat voted: "No." - February 28, 1871: The GOP Congress passed the Enforcement Act, giving black voters federal protection. - February 8, 1894: Democratic President Grover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress repealed the GOP's Enforcement Act, denying black voters federal protection. - October 16, 1901: GOP President Theodore Roosevelt invited to the White House as its first black dinner guest Republican educator Booker T. Washington. - January 26, 1922: The U.S. House adopted Rep. Leonidas Dyer's (R., Mo.) bill making lynching a federal crime. Filibustering Senate Democrats killed the measure. - Until 1935, every black federal legislator was Republican. America's first black U.S. Representative, South Carolina's Joseph Rainey, and our first black senator, Mississippi's Hiram Revels, both reached Capitol Hill in 1870. On December 9, 1872, Louisiana Republican Pinckney Benton Stewart "P.B.S." Pinchback became America's first black governor. - August 17, 1937: Republicans opposed Democratic President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Supreme Court nominee, U.S. Senator Hugo Black (D., Al.), a former Klansman who defended Klansmen against race-murder charges. - September 24, 1957: Eisenhower deployed the 82nd Airborne Division to desegregate Little Rock's government schools over the strenuous resistance of Governor Orval Faubus (D., Ark.). - May 6, 1960: Eisenhower signs the GOP's 1960 Civil Rights Act after it survived a five-day, five-hour filibuster by 18 Senate Democrats. - November 2, 1983: President Reagan established Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a national holiday, the first such honor for a black American. - President Reagan named Colin Powell America's first black national-security adviser while GOP President George W. Bush appointed him our first black secretary of state. Facts are from Deroy Murdock who is an advisory board member of Project 21, a Washington-based network of black free-market advocates.

with the success of those who wanted to bring destruction to the South came slavery for ALL. It was the end of a free America. "equality" means genocide to Southern Christian White culture and their way of life. It means communism, artificial elevation of the status of blacks (means they didn't earn any of these perks they are always getting), and non-stop lies about history from the govt. controlled schools.

What the fuck are you talking about?

If you don't know then I'm not going to tell you - especially when you ask like that.

May I remind you that if the Confederates were merely trying to secede then they wouldnt have have attqacked FORT SUMTER in SOuth Carolina. Remember the Union did not attack first, the confederates did. Lincoln always intended to end slavery. "A house divided against itself cannot stand". Remember? NOw he did not beleivce the federal government had the power to interfere in the slave states, but he wanted to stop the expanison of it and "set it on the course for its ultimate extinction".

Jefferson also tried to include an anti-slavery plank in the Declaration if Independence and the Constitution but the slave holding states refusd to sign if the planks were included. ANd, as Lincoln pointed out during the Lincoln-DOuglass debates when Stephen Douglass made the point that Jefferson owned slaves, Jefferson also said he "feared for his country when he remembered that God was just". He was talking about how deep down he knews slavery was immoral.

Ive been reading your quotes and ou seem to either distort the meaning of some things that were said or you totally leave out other factors either by ignorance on intent. For instance you talk about h0w Jefferson himself was a slaveowner. Thats true. BUt did you also know that Jefferson, the author of the Declaration tried to include an anti-slavery plank in the declaration and constitution but the slave holding states wouldn't go along with it? I think you need to study more

You are so wrong it's scary. Today's Democratic party comes from the 1824 split between Democrats. The Dems will say so. The modern Republican party was formed in 1856, after the Whig party fell. So, you are completely wrong. You can choose your opinions, but you cannot choose facts...

Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican and the man who nows is a leader of the Senate Democrats, Robert Byrd, was a leader of the Ku Klux Klan. The Kennedys hated MLK jr. and have his phones illegally wire taped and even had him investigated. Democratic Sen. Bryd called Martin Luther King Jr. a "troublemaker".
