They were unionists but never anti-racist. The opposition to slavery was mainly for economic reasons but I don’t think they’re racial attitudes were ever really that much more enlightened then your average white southern Democrat and after a century in the political wilderness they had no reason to suddenly abandon their party just as it was becoming competitive.

Contrast that with ancestral copperhead counties in the north which mostly abandoned the Democrats in the 1920s as soon as they started seeing them as the party of big city immigrants.
