LINCOLN CUTTING THE PARTIES TO PIECES

Lincoln and a handful of others created the Republican Party by butchering both the Whig and Democratic Parties to get a new radical abolitionist party.
 
Of course, his public rhetoric seemed moderate, he made himself appear a liberal who intended to preserve the constitutional status quo, and he ostentatiously distanced himself from the radical abolitionists with whom he collaborated, but behind the scenes, and even in much of his public rhetoric, he was their purely sectional candidate, the first such candidate, and he was on their mission.

His message repeatedly spelled out this duplicitous project:

Founders' states's rights' on slavery, but a house divided can no longer stand.

States' rights in the South, but no slavery in the Northern states.

Federal government has no right to legislate slavery into the territories, states, not feds, have the right to say what a federal citizen is, but a house divided cannot stand, and Dred Scott is bad.
