To be fair, they are the party of Lincoln. Just like Lincoln, they'd send blacks (and all other nonwhites) back to their homelands. Just like Lincoln, it would take a full-on war to cause them to back away from slavery (if it still existed, which it certainly would if they had their way). Just like Lincoln, they hold to their racism all the same even as circumstances force them to reluctantly bow to facts.
