Very educational, eye opening and informative.

He doesn't say that after 1964, more so after 1968 because of LBJ's civil rights act, the South switched over to the Republican party and the Republican/Dem party tents changed. He says nothing about FDR or Truman integrating the armed forces. And Eisenhower was no strong enforcer of civil rights. He did call out the National Guard, but he did very little for blacks... Party labels are mostly meaningless with the passage of time, though not all the underlying issues...

To those of you that maintain that the policies of 19th Century Democrats and Republicans are the same in those parties today, you have a very distorted, nominal, superficial understanding of history and politics. On many issues, eg the multi-use euphemism of "states rights", the parties have even changed places. I strongly doubt Lincoln could be considered Republican in policy by today's standards, though today's Tea Party Republicans do sound like variations on Jacksonian Democrats..

It would be way better if the two people he was talking to would stop with the"hugh" "oh my god" "no" "unnngh" every 2 second

@NASIRUB1 well economy was already recovering when clinton took office, he benefited from the dot.com bubble. As for Bush, the entire housing bubble started under clinton, although he promoted "homeownership" too

@TheGrandCapt I don't know about that brother, this country was messed economically since George Bush senior, his son came along years later and put us further into economic hell. When those soldiers come back from the war whose jobs are they going to take your and mines, damn Bushes burn in hell.

The Klan did a lot to help the USA. The USA was such a safer country when the Klan was in power they were loving people. Lets all pray to God that the USA can find a new Klan to help fix what Obama has distroyed.

This is informative but it is disingenuous to imply that republicans were conservative back then.
