Many people see it differently. More indentured white slaves then Black. I'm white. Many Americans are white (descended at least partially, from white slaves). The civil war was more about money and power, then slavery, imo. And slavery was the mentality of the day, going back to Adam and Eve. It's nothing personal. Every civilization had and owned slaves. Black people are hyper-sensitive to the topic, because the education system foments racial division by preaching white-on-black slavery all day long, when history shows, slavery was just the way the world turned before industrialization. Even the cum-buh-yah native indians enslaved each other after they killed each other. Just how humans operated.

The people of the south fought to keep blacks as slaves and the people of the south today honor and consider them heros who should have statues and monuments.Any black person voting for the party of the south is a damn fool.
That's fair. I'm sure many Americans in the South feel that way. I know parts of America can harbor extreme racism. But now you're engaging in the exact same type of generalization and prejudice you condemn the South for - broadly disparaging an entire group of people based on one shared attribute (skin color, place of residence etc).
You see? We are more similar then alike.
The Party of the South that fought to keep Blacks as slaves was the Democratic Party and that is a fact. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and that is a fact. The Jim Crow era politicians in the South that fought desegregation clear into the 1970's were long standing members of the Democratic Party (they called it "the solid south") and that is a fact.
Black persons should be voting Republican according to your line of reasoning.
Yes Bone,the democrat party previously represented the racist people of the confederate south,that is no longer the case.The republican party currently represents the racist people of the confederate south.
You are also correct that Abe Lincoln was a republican,but you should know the republican party did not represent the racist confederate south at that time as they do today.
Both parties have represented the racist south.Black people should vote against whoever represents the racist south at the present time.
Not if the republican party is currently representing the racist people of the confederate south which they currently are.
From slavery to jim crow to the present day the racist people of the confederate south has been the enemy of black people and used thier elected representatives to harm black people. Black people should vote against whichever party represents them at the time.

The Republican Party "fought very hard in the '60s to get the civil rights bill passed, as well as the voting rights bill."
— Michael Steele on Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 in an interview on ABC's This Week
Steele says GOP fought hard for civil rights bills in 1960s
The Civil Rights Act -- which is best known for barring discrimination in public accommodations -- passed the House on Feb. 10, 1964 by a margin of 290-130. When broken down by party, 61 percent of Democratic lawmakers voted for the bill (152 yeas and 96 nays), and a full 80 percent of the Republican caucus supported it (138 yeas and 34 nays).
When the Senate passed the measure on June 19, 1964, -- nine days after supporters mustered enough votes to end the longest filibuster in Senate history -- the margin was 73-27. Better than two-thirds of Senate Democrats supported the measure on final passage (46 yeas, 21 nays), but an even stronger 82 percent of Republicans supported it (27 yeas, 6 nays).
The Union states voted for the cival rights act,the confederate southern states voted against it
