EPIC Meme Compares Democrats In The Past To Democrats Today | The Federalist Papers

EPIC Meme Compares Democrats In The Past To Democrats Today | The Federalist Papers:

 "back in 1857, in a landmark decision, a Supreme Court packed with Democrats determined that not only was Dred Scott not a citizen, not only that he was property – but that black people might actually benefit from slavery.

It wasn’t until Republicans pushed through the 13th Amendment in 1865 that slavery was finally abolished in America. Democrats in the south tried to scuttle the new law with Jim Crow laws and other rules designed to keep blacks enslaved, but eventually that went down as well,"
