The original purpose of the 14th Amendment was to defend African-Americans from their Democrat oppressors in the post-Civil War South.
In 1866, the Republican-controlled 39th Congress established the Buffalo Soldiers. A law introduced by Rep. Isaac Hawkins (R-TN) provided for six regiments of African-American troops.
In 1869, the Republican-controlled 40th Congress passed the 15th Amendment, extending to African-Americans the right to vote. Nearly all Republicans in Congress voted in favor, though a few abstained, saying it did not go far enough. Nearly all Democrats in Congress voted against the 15th Amendment.
{{{ The 15th Amendment was ratified the following year, but using intimidation, poll taxes, registration fraud, and literacy tests Democrats prevented most African-Americans from voting for nearly a century.}}}
The First African-American Senator was a Republican
In 1871, the Republican-controlled 42nd Congress passed a Civil Rights Act aimed at the Ku Klux Klan.
The 1871 Civil Rights Act, along with the GOPs 1870 Civil Rights Act, effectively banned the Klan and enabled Republican officials to arrest hundreds of Klansmen. Though the U.S. Supreme Court would eventually strike down most of the 1871 Civil Rights Act, the Ku Klux Klan was crushed. The KKK did not rise again until the Democratic administration of President Woodrow Wilson.
On his deathbed in 1874, Senator Charles Sumner (R-MA) told a Republican colleague: You must take care of the civil rights bill my bill, the civil rights bill. Dont let it fail. In March 1875, the Republican-controlled 43rd Congress passed the most comprehensive civil rights legislation ever. President Ulysses Grant signed the bill into law that same day.
Among its provisions, the 1875 Civil Rights Act banned racial discrimination in public accommodations. Sound familiar? Though struck down by the Supreme Court eight years later, the 1875 Civil Rights Act would be reborn as the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Dr. Martin Luther King was a Republican.
In 1878, U.S. Senator Aaron Sargent (R-CA) introduced in Congress the proposed 19th Amendment, according women the right to vote. Over the next four decades, it was primarily the Democrats who would oppose the measure. Not until 1919, after the Republican Party won majorities in the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, did Congress approve what would become the 19th Amendment
A Former Slave Chaired the 1884 Republican National Convention
In 1924, Republican President Calvin Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act, granting citizenship to all Native Americans.
The First Hispanic U.S. Senator was a Republican
The First Asian-American U.S. Senator was a Republican
In 1940, the Republican National Convention approved a plank in its platform calling for racial integration of the armed forces: Discrimination in the civil service, the army, navy, and all other branches of the Government must cease.
For the next eight years, Democratic presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry Truman refused to integrate. Not until 1948 did President Truman finally comply with the Republicans' demands for racial justice in the U.S. military.
A Republican Integrated the University of Mississippi
In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. The author of Brown v. Board of Education was a Republican, Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Republicans Passed the 1957 Civil Rights Act
During the five terms of the FDR and Truman presidencies, the Democrats did not propose any civil rights legislation.
Republicans Ended Racial Segregation in Little Rock
Just a few days after passage of the GOPs 1957 Civil Rights Act, the Democrat governor of Arkansas ordered the National Guard to prevent the court-ordered racial integration of a public high school in Little Rock. Republican President Dwight Eisenhower refused to tolerate defiance of the federal judiciary. Under a plan suggested by his attorney general, the President placed the governors soldiers under federal control and ordered federal troops to the state, where they escorted African-American children to school.

Are you not the same person, who started a thread about land owners being the only ones who could vote?
I think the only citizens who should be able to vote are the ones who have paid income taxes. Only seems fair. And the voting age to be increased back to 21 as it was before. Obama wants it to be decreased to 16 years. He needs the young and ignorant.
Your wasting your time, Gregg. You do your own thinking, although I have differing opinions than you...I do see your points and your honesty as you see them.
Rdean is nothing like you and it always ends up "Us Against Them" mentality, and honesty is not ever considered.
Honesty is always considered. And anyone who is both honest and a member of the Republican Party has a decided lack of values, ethics and morals.
The brightest and most educated people in the world are probably US Scientists. Only six percent or less admit to being members of the Republican Party.
To anyone but a Republican, that is an incredibly dramatic rejection. Nearly a complete dismissal.
And Republicans, instead of showing a shred of introspection, a moment of indecisiveness, they insist scientists have no "common sense" and make up these bizarre and unbelievable stories, the same way they do about liberals and about he president.
There is no reason to make up stories about Republcians or Conservatives. The truth is far more extreme than anyone could make up.
Like I said about rdean...."Us Against Them" mentality. He/she just can't help it.

With what several of the union teachers are teaching students, it would be a boom for the liberals.

and then you make those comments? Hmmm.

Everything you are talking about was when the Republican Party was the "liberal" party. During the early civil rights, liberals left the Republican Party and moved to the Democratic Party, while Conservatives moved from the Democratic party to become the modern "Confederate Republican Party". How can you not know that?
Is it "pretend ignorance" or you really didn't know?

Without trying to be too confrontational:
The Revolution was about lowering taxes.
Labor Laws are the thing that has undermined the need for unions.
Louisiana Purchase. Huh?!??!
Cumberland Road. Again. Huh?!!?
I suppose going into heavy debt is a typically Liberal approach to anything, so getting cash from someone else is a Liberal idea. Bleeding the French White and causing the downfall of that Monarchy was typical of Liberal planning in that they wanted what they wanted and cared little about the consequences.
Wasn't Lincoln a Republican? Who issued the Emancipation Proclaimation?
Higher Education. Hmmm... Maybe we need to check with Alexander the Great. I believe he recieved higher education.
Also, going into debt to fight wars, which many conservatives supported, is the same.
Tom Clancy is right, both parties are the same essentially
I've lost the freedom to smoke. Where can I smoke now? I'm losing the freedom to see my doctor the way I want to. The government now controls most industries which controls the choices in products I want to buy. Think about everything you buy and realize that most of creativity of what you buy is done by the government as it legislates what products it can make.
You can add to that the freedom to pray.
Really, what prevents people from praying? only thing is government and school sanctioned prayer events, nobody is prevented from praying.
the right wing created dhs, warrantless wiretapping, the patriot act, adn free speech zones
enough said?
