Does anyone doubt the GOP of today would be against abolishing slavery if it still existed? The new costs of ending slavery would stifle businesses! I'm not kidding.
Yes, I doubt it.
In fact, Republicans would be the first to abolish slavery. After all, the Republicans are the party of freedom.
The only reason the Democrat Party would abolish slavery is so they could pander to them to obtain a reliable voting block they could then take for granted.
Nobody is going to deny the Republican Party freed slaves. But also nobody is going to forget Republicans selling out Black community, Southern Strategy, abandoning civil rights principles, appealing to the racist in Dixie, "being neglect" etc. etc.
And Lincoln today would be teabagged by some conservative hero.
