The GOP was the anti-slavery party that kept the union together during the war of secession. Lincoln was the first republican president. It wasn't the same party then, but still. The Republican party had nothing to do with the confederacy. That would be the pro-slavery Democratic Party.

Do you want the red pill or the blue pill?
