Why do "Red" and "Blue" state maps match Slavery maps?

Question

http://sensoryoverload.typepad.com/sensory_overload/2004/11/free_states_vs_.html

It's funny. Republicans say the last two elections were about morals... But is it moral to be a pro-slavery racist?

Answer 1

Because the GOP is now run by the Southern Baptist Church, it is the religious division of the old CSA, and they are bent on avenging the defeat of the South in 1865 by destroying the Union slowly until they set off WW III, and the major northern cities die in nuclear fire balls delivered by the Chinese; at that point they will be free of the Northern Oppression and enslave the Mexicans who are coming up to take the jobs from the Afro-Americans, and they will all the the Good Life in Jesus Christ as a Christians Nation under God Almighty. How is that for an answer? Creative enough for you? Guess what ... half of it is true, you just have to figure out which half.

Answer 2

They don't and some of the blue states had slavery too they just did away with it long before the Civil War. And when did slavery enter the issue about the last 2 elections you moron. It's liberals who want to enslave you and me both with politcal correctness and by taking away your cars and guns and freedom of speech. Just try to have a differing opinion than your liberal college professor and see awhat happens to you and your grade. Oh and they want to tax you into poverty so they can finance their agendas of socialist control just like the old Soviet Union and France and other socialist run countries. If those countries are so good why do so many people want to come here to live?

Answer 3

I am very tired of the slavery issue. People of African descent weren't the only ones to be slaves, just one of the most recent.

First of all the etymology of slave comes from...see below-courtesy of Webster

Main Entry: 1slave
Pronunciation: 'slAv
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English sclave, from Anglo-French or Medieval Latin; Anglo-French esclave, from Medieval Latin sclavus, from Sclavus Slavic; from the frequent enslavement of Slavs in central Europe during the early Middle Ages

Wow, does that mean some Europeans were slaves long before the first one set foot in America.
What about women in general? I could argue that we were treated like slaves. We had no right to private property,we were sold to the highest bidder, told that we were unable to be educated, so on and so forth.

Please...don't be a slave to old ideas. Be thankful you live in this time, I am.

Answer 4

First slavery has not existed in anyone of todays life time and is not a political issue. The states that supported slavery in the south but the political issue was states rights and still is states right.

You are merely a person who wishes to bring up hate lies to futher they own cause, shame on you

Answer 5

Wow, this is grasping. So Nevada was pro slavery even though it didn't exist at the time? Who knew.

Answer 6

Please observe Princeton's map of 2004 election results---

and try thinking for yourself and not reading biased articles that the authors of said articles have a pet issue to shore up.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Hate to break this to you but the republicans now where then democrats and the democrats then were Republicans, do your research before you ask questions....
