Between 1865 and 1877 was not a good time for the south, no question about that. And it does explain why the south voted Democrat for a century afterwards. However, it was President Hayes (a Republican) that ended Reconstruction and signed into law the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. There were certainly Republicans that wanted to see the south suffer after the Civil War, but Presidents Grant and Hayes were not among them.
President Hayes wanted to get elected.
People who get up in arms about the 2000 election often foget about 1876 - and the impact that it had on the nation - with regards to ending Reconstruction.
Well with Byrd and Thurman being Democratic patriarchs you would think Dems would not be so fast to use the race card against Republicans every time they disagree with their policies. They sure tolerated racists in their own ranks for years and years.
Did somebody say race card?
"[the Media] are doubly scared that a real black man might run against Barack Obama"
-Herman Cain, March 30, 2011
(Right after saying this Cain proclaimed that his being the Republican nominee would "take the race card off the table")
Obama is not a strong black man"
-Herman Cain, March 30, 2011
"A real black man is not timid about making the right decisions"
Herman Cain, June 30, 2011
"it is documented that [Obama's] mother was white and his father was from Africa."
Herman Cain, June 30, 2011”
(Right after saying this Cain sanctimoniously proclaimed "but I'm not going down this color road")
Obama has "never Been A Part Of The Black Experience In America"
Herman Cain, Oct 10 or 11, 2011
Add to the above his statement that Jon Stewart is racist
Add his black people are brainwashed statement
Note, all of the above were made knowing the it was on the record and in some cases being recorded. All were also made while he was running for President (this time, not in 2000)

An intellectually honest depiction of history would show that prior to the mid to late 20th century you have liberals and conservatives in both the Democratic and Republican Parties. The emergence of Barry Goldwater in the 1960s and conservative revival of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, pretty much made the Republican Party the ideological home of Conservatives in America.
In the South there were racist Democrats were the conservatives within the Democratic Party. There, feel better?
The Civil Rights of 1964 turned most of those conservative Southern Democrats into Republicans and it's been that way ever since.

Now if you'd just title the thread "The Exhaustive History of Conservative Racism", you'd be much more historically and ideologically accurate.
