This is not correct. The Republican party was founded in 1854 as an anti-slavery party. In fact, when Lincoln won the presidency in 1860, he wasn't even on some of the southern ballots. There were Northern democrats who were pro-slavery. I would imagine any southern Republicans were anti-slavery.
lol. Like most populations, there’s variations.
For example, Texas today. It’s dominated by republican politics; despite the cities being fairly liberal.
Or Minnesota- mostly dominated by democratic politics, despite the outstate being very MAGA.
But read your statement again:
Also not that the Republican Party stated in Wisconsin, (in the north.)
Also, check out this electoral map of the 1860 election:
Looks familiar, doesn’t it? Aside from most the western states not being, ah, states, that is.
