Amherst is the liberal democratic socialist capital of the North East, yet in during the Civil War the state was very much Republican home to many Radical Republican leaders who were adamantly against the Confederate states and who demanded the worst of treatments for those who owned slaves. Around 1860 a little over 60% of the state voted Republican and 20% voted Northern Democratic. And the governor of the time won over and over in landslides. He too was Republican. Interesting how all these Democrats shake each others hands and celebrate today. Then again the Democratic party of today took on the Republican ideals after the 50s and 60s.
