In 1854 there were no "conservative" Republicans.No.....republican conservatives fought to free the slaves, religious conservatives.
Democrats fought to keep blacks as slaves
In 1854 there were no Republican "conservatives"The Dred Scott decision, first you state it was no Republicans, now you claim it was all conservatives.
You are partially right,
it was all conservatives that stated it was wrong to deny African American's their freedom.
The Democratic Party majority voted together, denying freedom to African American's that lived in free states, asserting that they were property.
It was neither, your question is a false premise.
The Democratic Party owns racism and hate. It is your history, it is your base today.
In 1854 the Republican party was began as an Anti-Slavery party in opposition to the Democratic party.In 1854 there were no "conservative" Republicans.
Obviously your knowledge of the history of the GOP and Democratic parties are based on MAGAT myths and you speak only from ignorance.
The Arrogance of Ignorance is why you're so certain of your "facts"

The civil war was about slaveryI doubt we would still be slaves today. And the civil war really wasn't about slavery.
Massive evidence requiredWe're in the 21st century and at least 1/3 of all whites are still racists.
Slabvery was not in this country in 1619Some of the Republicans here are clearly ignorant of their record on race.
The racist history of the Democratic party is well documented. The Democratic Party was founded in 1828. Slavery had been in this country since at least 1619. Slavery existed for 209 years before the democratic party existed. Republicans today love telling blacks how the Democratic Party was pro-slavery and how it was the Republican Party that freed the slaves. There is a lot modern republicans choose not to tell blacks as they try luring blacks into supporting a move back into Jim Crow. First, not all Republicans were for racial equality. The Party had several factions in the beginning. One was the Radical Republicans. The Radical Republicans were for the eradication of slavery. They were not conservatives. Frederick Douglass was a Radical Republican. Lincoln was moderate politically. He opposed the expansion of slavery but did not believe in racial equality.
“I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black ... I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”
Those who have studied Lincoln claim that his views evolved. Did they? The Second Confiscation Act in 1862 had provisions for the colonization of blacks who chose to leave. Both Dr. Henry Louis Gates and the 1619 Project have written about a meeting between blacks and Lincoln whereby he made insulting comments to them, blamed blacks for the Civil War, and demanded they accept his plan to resettle blacks outside of America. According to both sources, on Aug. 14, 1862, Lincoln met with black representatives at the White House to try getting blacks to accept getting shipped out of the country. They refused.

You watch too much spongebob, it is not opposite dayIn 1854 there were no Republican "conservatives"
100% of the "conservatives" were Democrats.
But your ignorance and attempt to excuse the current GOP's infatuation with racism and all things hate is not unexpected.
Knowledge of the truth is why I no longer vote Republican
Ignorance of the truth is why you do.
No. Look that word up and get back to me.Non-sequitur
Can you link a credible source that supports your contention that the parties didn't switch places, ie the southern strategy?It was neither, your question is a false premise.

Link to something that did not happen?Can you link a credible source that supports your contention that the parties didn't switch places, ie the southern strategy?
Link to something that did not happen?
Can you actually debate what happened, and present a factual argument, other than simply repeating the Democratic Party talking point.
Why don't you link to the articles in said politicians archives that support your argument.
www.history.com
links, now you expect me to link as if a link is the only truth?How the ‘Party of Lincoln’ Won Over the Once Democratic South | HISTORY
Democratic defectors, known as the “Dixiecrats,” started a switch to the Republican party in a movement that was later fueled by a so-called "Southern strategy."
Their is a link to something you claimed didn't happen.
Where is your link that supports your contention?
I'll wait.
Answer the question yourselfIn 1854 the Republican party was began as an Anti-Slavery party in opposition to the Democratic party.
How is it that Democrats always make big bold statements that encompass entire groups. I think there is a word for that, labeling everybody as something or not something, what do we call that?
Stereotyping
No conservative republicans? Instead of insulting, using epithets and running from your comments why dont you attempt to explain your one liners.
hahahahahaha
When someone claims that Republicans on the SCOTUS opposed the dred scott decision before there even was a Republican party I'd suggest that the OP and the post to which I responded are actually ignorant about the subject and, of course, the Arrogance of Ignorance leads them to speak with authority on a topic of which they are wholly ignorant.You watch too much spongebob, it is not opposite day
Now you want to argue semantics. Democrats can only be called Conservative in the sense that they wanted things to remain as they always were, with Slavery.
This is a thread, OP, about race and history. When it comes to racism, you can call Democrats whatever you want. That does not change the facts, which is the Democratic Party was and is the party of hate and racism. The attempts to revise history fails, there are too many facts that show the Republicans never embraced the hate and racism of Democrats.
Certainly the Democratic party has evolved, evolved their political strategy and wrote revisionist history to hide your past.
Oh? And how would this Emancipation have occurred?I doubt we would still be slaves today. And the civil war really wasn't about slavery.

Yes, I took a long look in the mirror. I see myself, which you do not.LGBTQ+people are abominations
Democrats are all socialists/communists
Immigrants are rapists and drug smugglers.
Maybe a long look in the mirror might provide some enlightenment.
In the 1895 case Plessy v. Ferguson there were seven justices ruling in favor of Apartheid, 4 out of the 7 were Republican.
