- The Texas Capitol’s Confederate memorial problem – I’m a lifelong member of the Republican Party – the party formed to fight slavery among other things and which ran the Union war effort against the Confederates of the South. I recognize that our history is our history and people can be honored and remembered without agreeing with all they believed or did. Funny how Democrats, not only the party of the South but the party of segregation until these modern times, are so busy handwringing trying to figure out how to sanitize history. Maybe Dems are afraid eventually people will wake-up to which party was the party of Jim Crow!
