EG with racist republicans.. for 100years not addressing their racism.. it continued... it continued....
Well, that's a fascinating alternate history. The history of the real world is one in which American Republicans squared off against American Democrats who were the racists.
But lying liars will do as lying liars want.
It can be confusing since the progressive party used to call themselves Republicans and the party that resisted progressive ideas/change were called the Democrats - now it's the other way around.
nah progress is actually based on public oppinion,
holding slaves could be a future thing, and not.
its completely ilussionary to call slavery unprogressive, and nonslavery egalitarianism unprogressive.
in the star wars galaxy slavery is tolerated for example.
slavery makes an economy also much easier, as banks wont holding so much power.
