“I knew that however bad the Republican party was, the Democratic party was much worse.”
Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman
As quoted in Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (1941), chapter 47, p. 579
Context: I knew that however bad the Republican party was, the Democratic party was much worse. The elements of which the Republican party was composed gave better ground for the ultimate hope of the success of the colored man's cause than those of the Democratic party.
