Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was a Republican in his time, meaning he was a Lincolnite. That means, unlike what the modern GOP wants you to think, he was a scary radical liberal. Why do you guys think people called Lincoln supporters "Black Republicans"? It wasn& #39;t a compliment!

Chamberlain was a documented (I& #39;ve TOUCHED the documents) supporter of scary liberal ideas like birth control, gender equality, educating women (the horror), female orgasm& #39;s actual existence (ask me later), racial equality, women in the workplace, etc. Lots of fun stuff.

So I get reeeeeeally offended when modern GOP clowns like Trump try to claim the Civil War period& #39;s Republicans. They took SO MUCH CRAP for being scary radical liberals by their contemporaries.

In conclusion....
