KKK were Democrats. Thus, the Liberal party (Democrats) is the one with the dark, racist history. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. He was kind of partly responsible for freeing all those slaves, no biggie u no

You didn't say Democrats and Republicans. You're talking about Liberals. The KKK were staunch Conservatives, traditional values, white supremacist, all the warm and fuzzy conservative values thrown way out of whack. 

The Democrats and Republican basically switched sides during the 20th century, which is obvious to anyone who's ever cracked open a history book. And the Southern Democrats were really almost a splinter party of their own, kind of like today's Tea Party.
