In 1860 the Democrats were predominately pro-slavery and the Republicans were antislavery. Lincoln would not have been elected if he were pro-slavery. The civil-war how ever you want to slice it or dice it was about slavery. Lincoln was against slavery and was against the expansion of slavery. If Lincoln had been pro-slavery and were elected, the civil war would not have occurred under his administration.
