Re: "- ex-Whig Abraham Lincoln of the Republican Party won, triggering the American Civil War and bringing an end to the Whigs"

Does the writer realize that by including this line he is opening the line of argument that the Whig Party was re-born into the Republican Party? By the way this is not an idea original to myself.

does that mean then , by Jeffers leaving the Republican party to the Independent, that the Independent Party was once the Republican party?
