The Republican Party was formed to end slavery:

I am aware of that. But when they got into power, they didn't try to end it through legal means, such as a constitutional amendment.

LOL! Funny! The Southern states LEFT BEFORE THE FIRST REPUBLICAN WHO “GOT INTO POWER” could even act.

I wish you knew more about the Civil War, so you could comment from a more defensible position.

Stop showing your ignorance. Lots of Republicans were in power before Lincoln came along. William Seward was previously governor of New York and was at that time a Senator for New York. Thomas Corwin was a congressmen from Ohio.

I've been reading your commentary, and clearly you know less about it than do I.
