That is an interesting comment.
I read the Republican Party was founded to prevent slaves from entering into U.S. territories and competing with free white labor.
The slaves that could not leave Alabama and go into Oregon were still slaves in Alabama.
Didn't a lot of Republicans vote for the Corwin Amendment, or am I thinking of something else?
Republican Party was founded to oversee the industrialization of the USA and the South didn’t want to play.
Readers might be interested in the actual short text of the first Republican Party Platform:
Opposition to the extension of slavery, by force if necessary.
Building the transcontinental railroad.
Improvement of rivers and harbors.
(No mention of tariffs.)

Nope.

Are you suggesting all 19th century fights against slavery were illegitimate because they didn't immediately attempt to end slavery worldwide?
Didn't a lot of Republicans vote for the Corwin Amendment, or am I thinking of something else?
What does the Corwin Amendment have to do with the founding of the Republican Party?
