The Republican Party was formed in 1854 specifically to oppose the
Democrats, and for more than 150 years, they have done everything they could
to block the Democrat agenda. In their abuses of power, they have even used
threats and military violence to thwart the Democrat Party's attempts to
make this a progressive country. As you read the following Republican
atrocities that span three centuries, imagine if you will, what a far
different nation the United States would be had not the Republicans been
around to block the Democrats' efforts.
