The story of a war

I thought I would do something a little bit differently in this post,so I am going to tell you all a story of a war. A story you've probably heard before,but may want to hear about it again. There once was a President who wanted to overthrow a Government,this Government was divided into two groups,the controlling group did everything they could to make sure that the other group stayed in line even if that meant they had to kill people of the other group. This Government didn't like our President telling them what to do,so our Government ,and theirs went to war. This President asked for powers that no other President had ever wielded, including imprisoning people without a trial,and spending money without congressional authorization. After the war was over reconstruction of the fallen enemy had begun,but there was still fighting,because the first group still wanted to oppress the other group.This President was opposed by many other politicians because of his decision making,including members of his own political party,but he was determined to stay the course. So do you think I'm talking about President Bush,and Iraq? No I'm talking about Abraham Lincoln,and The Confederate States of America,and even when our Government overthrew the Confederates the old hardline Confederates did everything they could do to make sure the blacks were kept in line,like starting organizations like the K.K.K., or former slave owners telling the blacks that we will let you farm the land with us,and then making it impossible for them to ever become financially independent,after paying the former slave owner rent,and having to pay for farm supply's the now free former slave was still indebted to the landowner probably for the rest of their life. In the late 50's southern blacks had had enough,they were not slaves anymore,and demanded to be free. Many gave their life for that freedom,black and white,but the old south still did not want to give that freedom,and many southern politicians still would not follow what the Government told them to do,they would not Desegregate their Schools,and treated blacks as second class citizens. Contrary to popular belief the civil rights movement did not start with John F Kennedy,it started in 1954 with President Dwight D Eisenhower a republican. Segregation on the other hand was supported by Democrat's like Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus, Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett,and Democratic politician Eugene "Bull" Connor who was the Birmingham Alabama Public Safety Commissioner who used fire hoses,and police attack dogs on unarmed peaceful protestors, John F Kennedy,and His brother Bobby considered Martin Luther King Jr a great threat,and had King put under surveillance,after Kennedy's assassination,and much pressure Lyndon Johnson actually started helping black America.It took the Democrat's in this country 100 years after the end of the Civil war to actually do the right thing. So I wonder about a couple things,why is it that the democratic party now claims they did so much for the Civil rights movement when in fact it was their party that oppressed blacks in America up until just 40 years ago? Why is it that they continue to call the Republican party racist bigots when it's Republican leaders like Lincoln thro Eisenhower,and others who are the ones who fought for us all to truly be free? And why is it that the Democrat's want us to pull out of Iraq so another oppressive regime can take over that Government,and dominate the minorities in that country? And why is it that Black leaders like Jesse Jackson will continue to support the Democratic party when it was that party he fought against during the Civil Rights Movement of the 50's,and 60's? I think it's time in this country that we set history straight about which political party actually was at the front of the Civil Rights Movement,and we need to make sure that history does not repeat itself in this country or one that is also in a state chaos that will oppress the minorities of that country. And once again it is a Republican who is saying we need to free these people,and keep them safe,and the Democrat's who continue to turn their backs on the freedom of others. The Angry American
