| DEMOCRACY (SPECIFIC
CONNOTATION): RULE BY ONE RACE OR PEOPLE Etymology
The word democracy is derived from two
Greek words:
 +-  .
"1. Government by the people"
The above Greek etymology and
English definition was taken from
The Oxford Universal Dictionary (1955).
Biblical Use (BC)
The same word (day'mos) in
Numbers 3.21, Greek Septuagint, seems to
imply the meaning "family" or
"people of a particular racial
lineage".
Civil War Era
Family lineage, or racial descent was
the critical element of determination for the
government benefit of possessing real estate and
concurring rights "to rule" (government
by the people) even after the Civil War had
begun. This can be directly deduced through the
words of Abraham Lincoln speaking for the favor
of and solely -- the American Northern European
people -- one race, one people. Recollecting the
"ideal union our fathers dreamed", the
not-so-mentioned-as-such-today racial homogeneitist, morally
justified concerning the particular situation,
specifically depicted his vision of America being
ruled by only
one white race: " ... no room for two
distinct races of white men in America, much less
for two distinct races of whites and
blacks."1
