Nor would the Republican Party, which enjoyed a political monopoly after the war, have insisted that the Southern states rewrite their state constitutions to outlaw secession as a condition of being readmitted to the Union.

The Republican Party had a political monopoly before the war too, because the slave power made sure to split the Democratic Party to ensure the election of Lincoln.

They did this to facilitate a destruction of the United States. Their aim was a slave empire stretching into South America and encompassing all the Carribbean.

For example:

" Senator A. G. Brown said September 4, 1858, that he wanted Cuban, Mexican, and Central American territory for slavery; "I would spread the blessings of slavery . . . to the uttermost ends of the earth." Such utterances treated slavery as permanent, and assumed that it must be defended at every point."

---- "The Coming Fury" by Bruce Catton

See also "Battle Cry of Freedom", by James Mcpherson, especially Chapter 3, "An Empire for Slavery".

And here I was thinking Bubba-2 wasn't a traditional Republican! I was wrong all along,and it looks like the Republicans of the 1860's may yet get their wish. Sooner or later they will manage to destroy US sovereignty and join with Mexico,and then the corporations will take over as the Constitution is replaced,and we will all become employees/serfs/slaves.
