Friendly People Ignore Racism

In 1859, there was a black man who's name was Hays. One day Hays was beaten up by thugs that Kimble, his white employer, had payed. Kimble was a republican. Later, going through the court process, some democrats heard about what was going on, and for some time they were on Hays side.
