The slaves were freed by the republicans.
In accordance with their philosophy:
Personal and financial freedom and independence.
The democrats wanted to keep slavery.. in accordance with their philosophy: you are a helpless victim and need to be taken care of (as long as you work/vote for us)
These philosophies haven’t changed.
