Would Lincoln be a Republican today?

The Republican Party today make their own law and negate our Constitution...and even our borders for a Americas Union state.

"Again: If the United States be not a government proper, but an association of States in the nature of contract merely, can it, as a contract, be peaceably unmade by less than all the parties who made it? One party to a contract may violate it—break it, so to speak—but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it?" Abraham Lincoln.

1. According to the zeitgeist...

His party was not the conservative party in 1860. NO conservative would have emancipated anyone.
In the 1860 framework, generally, the Southern Dems were hard right, the Northern Dems were center right, Republicans were center left and abolitionists hard left.

2. Almost the opposite of today.

3. Especially when you juxtapose abolitionists

with anti-abortion crowd.
