"back in 1857, in a landmark decision, a Supreme Court packed with Democrats determined that not only was Dred Scott not a citizen, not only that he was property – but that black people might actually benefit from slavery.It wasn’t until Republicans pushed through the 13th Amendment in 1865 that slavery was finally abolished in America.
