Dinesh De Sousa has several lectures on the subject Slavery was an issue but it may not be as cut and dried as you assert.

Not a single republican owned a slave and that was true in the North and South. If you think the soldiers of the South fought to preserve slavery you would be wrong because the soldiers in the trenches did not own slaves nor did they want to.

No it wasn't. Some prominent Republicans in both Delaware and Maryland were slave owning Republicans.
