BTW - the Democratic Party:
- defended slavery by fighting against the abolition of slavery
- started the Civil War
- founded the KKK by Democrat Nathan Bedford Forrest who was the organizer and first Grand Wizard, and was a Lt. General in the Confederate Cavalry
- fought against every major civil rights act in U.S. history
- opposed Reconstruction
- imposed segregation
- participated in and promoted lynchings
- after the Civil War, gerrymandered Congressional voting districts to minimize the influence of blacks
- Democratic Supreme Court justices promoted slavery in the Dredd Scott decision while the Republican justices dissented
.
The Republican Party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party, established to stop the spread of slavery into the new Western territories and ultimately abolish it altogether
More Republicans voted in favor of the 1964 Civil Rights Act than Democrats
A total of 80% of Republicans in both houses of Congress voted for the Civil Rights Act
Only 60% of Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act

responses are predictable - all the leftists will deny factual history in favor of "What i feel should be"
Unfortunately, in today's academic climate, Dr. Swain just ruined her academic career by publishing facts not in concert with the DPST narrative.
