The South were the Democrats of the Civil War. As odd as it seems, because now the South is mainly Republican, General Nathan Bedford Forrest, founder of the Ku Klux Klan was a democrat. Abraham Lincoln, Winner of the 1860 election, and a Republican was one of the causes of the war, because he wanted to free the slaves, and democrats wanted to keep slaves, as it was the South's largest enterprise.
