I know that the vast majority of Irish-Americans were Democrats at the time of the Civil War (and long after) mainly due to the GOP in New York and New England being dominated by WASPs but there must have been a minority that was Republican, especially since many Irish-Americans served in the Union Army during the Civil War. I've read that Abraham Lincoln drank at McSorleys Pub (famous New York Irish pub) after giving his Cooper Union speech. Is there any information on who they might have been?
