"...But although Jefferson broke the link between Church and State in America, the great majority of his countrymen did not share his Deistic views, and moved further from them in the half-century after independence.... The Language of Liberty, p. 180.

RE IMMIGRATION HISTORY DK POST

"...For the new party, the spread of slavery, rather than the growth of immigration, was the main threat to free laborers in the North...." DK

The Republican Party was certainly founded on white Northern racism, and the issue of slavery alone.

 

Certainly Northern white racist fear mongering was what swept Lincoln into office and into the Civil War.

Those Northern states that had abolished slavery had done so not only not to help the black man, and to help the white, and not only by leaving free white labor without slave competition, and not only by eliminating the corrupting influence of owning slaves upon whites, but, much more importantly, they did not want negroes around, free or slave, in the North or anywhere else in America.

That is really what Tocqueville had meant in 1830, in the passage DK quoted.

The Northern cause in the Civil War was supposed, according to the electorate, to result in the transportation, not the immediate, or the gradual, assimilation of negroes, slave or free.

They got screwed in every way. The only good, temporary, thing, for them, was that the Radical Republican Party kept the freed negroes in puppet control of only the South, not the North.
