Yea but that's kind of mixing the message. Back in those times the Republican Party was known as the "Black man's party". That's how they referred to it back then with a diffrent set of choice words.
The Democrats were white and supported slavery in those times. It wasn't till much later that the two parties had total polarity reversals to become what they are today.
