@tultican @cynblogger Know your *Radical Republicans*, which would equate to today's Dems.
"The Radicals at first admired [Andrew] Johnson's hard-line talk. When they discovered his ambivalence on key issues by his veto of Civil Rights Act of 1866, they overrode his veto. This was the first time that Congress had overridden a president on an important bill. The Civil Rights Act of 1866 made African Americans United States citizens, forbade discrimination against them and it was to be enforced in Federal courts. The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution of 1868 (with its Equal Protection Clause) was the work of a coalition formed of both moderate and Radical Republicans."
Whereas today's "Republicans" could easily be labeled as sworn neo-confederate enemies of Radical Republicans of (President, lawyer & liberal American) Lincoln's & Reconstruction times.
