He argued that "the negro is but a grown up child" [1] who needs the economic and social protections of slavery. Fitzhugh decried capitalism as spawning "a war of the rich with the poor, and the poor with one another" – rendering free blacks "far outstripped or outwitted in the chase of free competition." Slavery, he contended, ensured that blacks would be economically secure and morally civilized.
With some minor edits, that is the current Dem position on minorities

They argued that "the negro is but a grown up child" [1] who needs the economic and social protections of Big Govt. Govt dependency, they contend, ensured that blacks would be economically secure and immorally un-civilized.

I keep telling you the democrats of the 18th century were conservatives, not liberals! What does it take to get that through your head.

Lincoln was a hard core liberal of his time.

The conservatives and liberals changed parties around 1900.

Teddy Roosevelt was a liberal/progressive.
