However, before the [[American Civil War]], Democrats supported slavery and the Dred Scott decision, which did create a bias that favored whites over blacks even in issues far less than Presidential elections. It was the Republican [[Abraham Lincoln]] who led opposition to slavery and the Dred Scott decision.
An Affirmative Action President is strongly supported by some [[liberals]] who favor [[affirmative action]]. As they support [[affirmative action]] for other positions, it is a logical extension for them to favor it for the presidency also.
