You idiot can't you read , Republicans were democrats at that time. There issues were Democrat aligned, It was a a shift in policy totally. There is no way for you to argue that Lincoln wasn't a classical Liberal. Because that is just a fact.If you even found that out to be a fact you would still deny it . Because it makes a ass out of your Idea of the differences between Dems and the hate party."Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican President. Lincoln, a former Whig (and then “moderate” “anti-slavery” Republican), favored social justice and federal power over states’ rights regarding slavery.[1][2][3]History is not "bullshit".
No, they weren't. The Republican Party formed in 1854 in opposition to the slavery that the Democrat Party supported.
Lincoln was a Republican.
Name calling doesn't change the truth.
Inversion Fallacy. Attempt to re-write history.
Continued inversions and attempted revisions of history.
Lincoln protested the Mexican American War and opposed Free-Trade, and we can thank Lincoln for free public colleges, the income tax, and using federal power to defeat the socially conservative south and ensure the Union (… just like a modern Republican?)"Lincoln was not unlike a modern socially liberal Democrat or more moderate Republican. Essentially everything Lincoln did put him in this camp, he was left on social issues, but moderate right on federal power. Figures like that tend to be Democrats today, but Lincoln wouldn’t be fully out of place in the more moderate wings of the modern Republican Party (or at very least he could be compared to an Eisenhower-like Republican). You are a idiot.
