I was the first Republican president, and I wanted to free the slaves. Democrats fought a war to keep their slaves. I issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves. I made equality for black people part of the Republican platform. Republicans passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, ending slavery, granting citizenship, and allowing black Americans to vote. The first black senator and representatives were Republicans.
Democrats founded the KKK, opposing the Republican Party and using violence against Republican leaders. They passed racist Jim Crow laws. Republican President Eisenhower sent the National Guard to protect black students integrating schools. More Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrats. Republican presidents Nixon, Bush, and Trump furthered desegregation, appointed black justices, and supported black colleges and communities. Under Trump, black unemployment fell to the lowest ever and wages rose to the highest in history. So, who are the real racists? Be free!
