The Republican party was also responsible for sponsoring the Corwin Amendment that would have made slavery permanently legal and protected by the Constitution of the United States. It was passed by the US Congress in March of 1861 and endorsed by Lincoln in his first inaugural speech.

Thomas Corwin wasn't a Republican. Nor was James Buchanan, who solicited the Corwin Amendment.

And the confederate constitution made slavery permanent and protected, as well as protectecting slave imports. You must really hate them.
