Official republican position - Lincoln was our nation's greatest leader

Thank God republicans won that war back in the 1860s.

This is the official position of today's republicans.
From the 2004 GOP Platform

"One hundred and fifty years ago, Americans who had gathered to protest the expansion of slavery gave birth to a political Party that would save the Union - the Republican Party.

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln of Illinois carried the Republican banner in the Presidential election and was elected the Party's first President. He became our nation's greatest leader â€¦ and one of our Party's greatest heroes. "
