How the Republican Party went from Lincoln to Trump...
Today’s Republican Party opposes big government. It’s culturally conservative. Its demographic support is strongest among white voters, and it usually dominates elections in the South. And its 2016 presidential nominee has been heavily criticized for inciting racial tensions.
But things weren’t always this way.
Over the past 160 or so years, the party has undergone a remarkable transformation from the party of Abraham Lincoln… to the party of Donald Trump...

Old but good Vox post. Republicans opposed slavery back in 1860s, but they gradually changed to the opposite side 160 years later. Their focus of preserving union changed to preserving previous era of rich WASP dominance in society. US is not the same nation today as it was back then due to expansion, immigration, multiple wars and recessions.
