The United States of America was founded as a union of independent states. This tradition held for over half a century before America became embroiled in an existential sociopolitical conflict over the morality of slavery.

At it's founding, America was a nation built on the notion that owning another human being was a right, and this is enshrined in the US Constitution, as in Article IV, Section II, the final paragraph which, prior to the 13th Amendment freeing slaves, read as such:

“No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due.”

So prior to the civil war, slavery was legal, and enshrined in the US Constitution.

However; as the country grew and cities began to grow and which were based on industrial labor rather than slave labor as supported traditional industries in the south, such as cotton and tobacco. As such, big cities and newer territories had little need for slavery.

The problem started when these big city dwellers set their sights on outlawing slavery, and at any cost. This was obviously a major issue in social and political circles, as non-slave states eventually began passing laws which violated the above article of the US Constitution and which deprived southern states of their rights under the US Constitution.

Slavery was going out of fashion, even in the south; but the efforts to end slavery which usurped the Constitution and in doing so factually harmed slave supporting states was the issue which led several states to, in a concerted effort, declare their independence from the United States of America, per America's founding documents which clearly justified the action of these states, which then banded together to form their own union of states, the Confederate States of America.

Perhaps the prevailing thought at the time was that slavery, the indenturing to servitude of another human being, and the recognition that blacks were in fact human beings, was a pressing issue that all of the world supported. Yes, that could be said to justify some of the actions taken by the union against the Confederate states.

The civil war was therefore an unjust war of aggression by people espousing the ideology of democracy as opposed to the representative republic which the US Constitution clearly established. The United States of America, on the heels of a national sentiment to end slavery, destroyed itself by violating its own founding documents to take back territory justly and rightfully ceded by states which were opposed not to the policies of the United States of America so much as by the methods and violations of their own policies in attempting to assert it's will upon the southern states.

If any of this sounds familiar, it's because the Civil War has never ended, and, in due time, the war will once again be fought, and this time around, the rightful side will win and America will become two nations, one which believes in “democracy,” the other which believes in the US Constitution.

But what does all this have to do with the Democratic party?

Everything, because their sentiment, their ideology, is no more than a continuation of the overbearing tactics deployed to destroy America before the Civil War, which means as long as Democrats have any power, America has none. Every time you vote for Democrats, you piss on the US Constitution.
