reminder: Yes, the Democratic Party in the SOUTH was the party of slavery. BUT, taken as a whole there were LIBERAL DEMOCRATS AND CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS that made up the Democratic Party. IT WAS THE CONSERVATIVES WHO WERE THE RACISTS FIGHTING TO KEEP SLAVERY IN THAT PARTY. It was Liberals from both parties that joined together to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act signed into law by a Democratic president. That is when all southern Democrats switched to the Republican Party where they reside today. You might have noticed Republicons and their talking heads fail to mention that fact. Today's Republican Party is the party of Southern Democrats aka racists.
