Sorry—I reverted because I didn't understand the addition of the Italian and the erasure of half of the article. I hope this doesn't offend anyone terribly. Best, Hydriotaphia 02:15, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Politically Speaking
Why is republican party always saddled with the racist lable, when they are the ones that freed the slaves, gave them the right to vote, and assisted in just about everything pertaining to equal treatment? Democrats ("the Party of the African-Americans") as a whole were pro-slavery, blockaded the 15th Amendment, and in the South effectively stopped blacks from voting until 1965.
I get extremely frustrated when the facts are sumarily smudged and rewritten to fit the politicians agenda! AND NO ONE STOPS THEM!! If you believe the republicans to be racist NOW, then just say so. Do not LIE about the senators of the past. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.202.97.170 (talk • contribs) 03:16, 7 November 2005 (UTC).
- Nothing in this article describes Republicans as racist, so what is the point of your comment? This talk page is for discussing the article, not a forum for expressing your opinion on tangentially related subjects. -- Mateo SA | talk 03:34, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] How did the Fifteenth Amendment become ratified?
This article has no information about how the Fifteenth Amendment became ratified. Which states approved this amendment? Which ones didn't? What impact politically, did the effort to ratify this amendment have in the various states? Did any Southern states appove this amendment? Why did Tennessee approve this amendment a century later in 1997? Kaldari 16:57, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Weird edit button locations
I was just looking at the article, and the edit links for the first three sections all appear next to each other, halfway down the third section. I have no idea what might be causing this. Could someone correct it? OldMiner 00:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Your guess is as good as mine. I'll get a bug report in and hopefully someone will get to it in the near future. Kennard2 03:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
