 I'd qualify that all for most issues, except slavery.
Although slavery was supported by the Democrats, it was more a matter of resisting government intervention; i.e., being a Democrat didn't make one pro-slavery, just as being a Whig or Republican didn't make one an abolitionist.

Just another complication for Dixie Girl to chew on.
