So, if you oppose the killing of black babies before they are born, or illegal immigrants stealing your jobs, or oppression of minorities, or violent racists destroying black-owned businesses, why are you supporting the party that condones these things? Here’s something else you should also know: The first twenty-one blacks elected to the U S Congress, were all--Republicans! Proof is HERE
The establishment of the Republican Party in all Southern States was done by former slaves. At one point they controlled every State house, until the KKK started assassinating duly elected black--and white--Republicans.

Neither the Whig Party nor Democratic Party kept their promise to end all slavery by 1820. Thus, half of the members of the Whigs and a quarter of the Democrats formed the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln. Simultaneously, Democrats in 9 states made preparations to form their own country by seceding from the union with an economy based on slavery.

• The Republican Party was established on the premise that no one should be a slave, that all are created equal; that the original laws regarding ending slavery, should be honored by the sons and daughters of the southern founders.
• The Republican Party fought against Democrats in the Civil War to free blacks from slavery in America.
• Used scripture to establish that all men are created equal and that slavery needed to end, prior to the Civil War and since the establishment of northern churches, dominated by Republicans
• Southern Democrats fought and died to keep slavery.
• Republicans supported the Emancipation Proclamation.
• In the South, freed blacks joined the Republican Party and won every southern state legislature. Unfortunately many were assassinated by the military arm of the Democratic Party. In Louisiana, the KKK slaughtered the entire black elected state house and senate, forcing Union troops into the state to restore order. The KKK has never denied its ties to the Democratic Party.
• Supported the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution.
• The entire freed slave population registered, ran for office, and voted Republican for decades after the Civil War.
• National Rifle Association was established in 1871 to provide guns to blacks to protect themselves from the military KKK. The NRA prevented the slaughter of tens of thousands of blacks and prevented the rampage of the KKK through black neighborhoods and towns.
• Thr first seven blacks elected to Congress were all Republican (see below).
• Only the Republican Party promoted the teaching of many inspiring stories of black heroes of the American Revolutionary War, building monuments to black heroes, such as Chispus Attucks in Boston.
• Black Republican Booker T. Washington was the person who raised the money for George Washington Carver’s research and MIT sensation Robert Robinson who transformed agriculture throughout the world.
• Blacks established the Republican Party throughout the south after the Civil War--the main reason why the Democratic Party slaughtered thousands.
• The first black senator was Reverend Hiram Rhodes Revels, a Republican appointed by a black legislative body in 1870 from the state of Mississippi, replacing Jefferson Davis, a known racist. Only the Republican Senators voted to seat Reverend Rhodes. (Picture with six representatives elected below)
• All Republicans have voted 100% for civil rights since the party’s inception. One lone Democrat, LBJ, voted for the 1960 civil rights bill, which was signed into law by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower.
• The GOP party disavows and has always opposed the KKK.
• MLK defended the Republican party's support for civil rights legislation.

There has been much misinformation and confusion about the relationship between the Republican Party and the black community. The Republican Party has been, and still is, an avid supporter of the advancement and prosperity of the black community. We believe what MLK said, “"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
