Original Note:
While it’s true that Lincoln was a Republican, the party in 1968 chose to appeal to white supremacists with the Southern Strategy, and has counted them among its base ever since. Any attempt to characterize today’s Republican Party as it was in 1861 would be misleading. https://belonging.berkeley.edu/new-southern-strategy
