Exposing the new democrat party in America
The current Democratic Party, including its current composition and ideology, as well as a concise history of the party, is what this article will focus on.
The Democrat Party history and foundation of slavery:
Founded in 1820. “The Democratic Party is the oldest voter-based political party in the world and the oldest existing political party in the United States. The party’s modern institutions were formed in the 1830s and 1840s, but it traces its history and heritage back to the original founders namely Thomas Jefferson and James Madison‘s Democratic-Republican Party of the 1790s–1820s.”
Placing these two former presidents and founders of the Democrat Party into the limelight:
Thomas Jefferson owned more than 600 slaves. At any one time about 100 slaves lived on the mountain; the highest slave population, in 1817, was 140.
James Madison was born on a 4,000-acre Virginia plantation that had more than 100 slaves. The Madison’s brought a number of slaves with them from Montpelier, but they also hired out slave laborers from other slave owners.
