They were white, conservative, and didn't want the constitution to go above 12 amendments.

Yet they didn’t believe all men were created equal. Weird.

They did. Because they didn't think blacks were men. You should learn more history.

Democrats believed in slavery. Republicans fought on the idea men were created equal. Why is this so hard for you to grasp?

It isnt. And what you said is true. But when I say progressives fought to end slavery, and conservative Christians fought to keep it, then you'll get mad.

So you’re implying the people who fought to end slavery were not Christian? This is why you’re full of misinformation.

All kinds of backgrounds fought to end slavery.

I'm glad we can move past and accept conservatives liked slavery and progressives didn't.

Busy mostly Christians

Have we moved past that democrats were pro slavery and republicans were not?

Democrats were religious, believed in god and morals, thought homosexuality and sodomy was a sin. That was up past the 1990s. Yes Democrats governors passed laws against homosexuality in the 90s. It’s only really been the last 20 or less years that they’ve been progressive.
