I didn't name every republican president just like I didn't name every democratic president.
If I'm wrong I'm wrong. But I did take umbridge to the post that everyone on the right side of the spectrum is responsible for slavery, repression, buggery and economic destruction.

Right wing-Left wing isn't an all encompassing thing. Leaders have been quite right wing on certain issues while at the same time being very left wing on others. Things have changed quite a bit recently, but the eras that you were referencing weren't so divided into the all or nothing approach that we see now. That's my biggest issue with the current state of world politics, you can't support certain social issues and still support conservative fiscal policy or what have you, the platforms have just become so all or nothing that it seems like progress always stalls.
