Did Ben Garrison credit Der Stürmer with those caricatures, or did he plagiarize them?

Unless you've been living under a rock you know that the Democratic party in the United States has moved radically to the left.

The mirror image statement “Unless you've been living under a rock you know that the Republican party in the United States has moved radically to the right” is at least as accurate.

In 1777 the State of Vermont, an independent Republic after the American Revolution, became the first sovereign state to abolish slavery and was led by Republicans.

Led by Republicans? How could Republicans have done that in 1777 if the Republican Party didn’t exist until 1854? Even the earlier Democratic-Republicans weren’t around until 1792.

And slavery was outlawed in a variety of jurisdictions well before that:
