Topic	Stating the factual truth that the Republican party freed the slaves is trolling

The Republican Party started in the 1850s, formed from a split in the Democratic party, whose members, primarily abolitionists, felt the Democrats were no longer representing their interests. They decided to call themselves Republicans because they felt their ideals were very similar to Jeffersons Democratic-Republican party. After the Civil War, the upstart Republicans were perceived as the party that won the war. Now firmly entrenched in the federal government, they were ironically dubbed the Gallant Old Party, which soon became the Grand Old Party, which was soon shortened to the familiar acronym GOP. Gallant Old Party entered the US Congressional Record in 1875[2] as a label for the Republicans and GOP in a newspaper in 1884. I'd been under the impression the Republican Party emerged from the implosion of the Whig party over the question of slavery, but I'll concede that my history with respect to this is a bit rusty. --- https://imgur.com/A0TAfek <cite>TheMikh posted [p:930458598] in Stating th...
