--- Quote from: WaterOre on September 02, 2016, 05:12:41 PM ---By supporting civil rights and secular schooling, they lost votes from the South (historically a Democratic stronghold) and the Catholics (historically a Democratic group). If they wanted to "buy votes", they would have to become what the Republican Party is today.

In doing so, he lost the Southern vote and created a regional split in the party, all but ensuring the next presidency to be Republican.
If he wanted his party to keep its votes and its power, he would have never supported the cause.

Not really no. Lincoln didn't want to end slavery but he knew it needed to be done. The republicans have stayed mostly the same socially throughout the years. It's just the Democrats have gone so left that they make Republicans look right leaning.
