RE DK REFERENCE TO SEAN TRAINOR ARTICLE WHIG REPUBLICAN PARTY INTERPRETATION
The new Republican Party did not defeat xenophobia at all.

Quite the contrary. It absorbed the Know Nothings, as Trainor ignorantly points out. He thinks that was a triumph of anti xenophobia....what an idiot.
No, Sean Trainor qualifies here as a Krugman Moron, a special category.
The new Republican Party had made anti slavery abolitionism, and most especially anti negroism into a newer and better xenophobia than the Know Nothings had had against mere white immigration, which was a whole lot less racially xenophobic than the new Republicanism of Lincoln.
The new Republican Party saw immigration as a great thing, Lincoln the most bullish and bully immigrationist in our history, but it was only for all white immigration, mainly to supplant the negroes, who theoretically were to be expelled one way or the other. See Lincoln's Immigration Law, passed I think in 1863, DURING THE CIVIL WAR!
The Republican Party was founded on NEGRO LABOR OBSOLESCENCE, not on freedom for negroes in America.
Under the Radical Republicans, it very quickly changed its stripes.
