On this day in 1863..

[The Mechanic]

On this day in 1863 Republicans freed the slaves.

And Democrats and newspapers denounced President Abraham Lincoln (R-IL) for freeing slaves.

Republicans rejoiced. Democrats cursed.
Grand Old Partisan reported:

On New Year’s Day in 1863, the Republican Party’s Emancipation Proclamation came into effect. While Republicans rejoiced, Democrat politicians and newspapers denounced President Abraham Lincoln (R-IL) for freeing slaves.

Demonstrating their depravity, New York’s Gov. Horatio Seymour, who would be the 1868 Democrat presidential nominee, denounced the Emancipation Proclamation as “a proposal for the butchery of women and children.”

The Louisville Daily Democrat called it “an outrage of all constitutional law, all human justice, all Christian feeling.”

Although this is often ignored by the revisionists in academia Republicans led the charge on civil rights and women’s rights.

You are aware that the Rethuglians and the Democrats have swapped names since then? And symbols.

[Black Orchid]

They never swapped names, Brian, and as far as I know they have never swapped symbols. The GOP shifted to become more conservative and the Dems shifted to become very much less conservative and very much more into socialism.

As far as I know the Elephant has represented the GOP and the Donkey the DNC since the early 1800s.

Got a link to prove otherwise?

No, I don't. Appears you are right and I am wrong. I apologise for speaking bullshit.

Good to see you acknowledge it, Brian, even with the rolling eyes.

Why? I am always willing to acknowledge I have been proved wrong, Black Orchid, when I have been proved wrong. Unlike others here, such as Mechie.
