The Republican Party Ends Its Mission Not a Church
The Nation argues the Republican party formed to stop slavery and since slavery is ended its purpose dissolves. It warns party unity hinges on policy aims and cites opposition from Trumbull, Sumner, Schurz, Greeley, Cox and others as evidence the coalition is breaking apart.
