Yep^^.
It's funny how most Republicans don't realize that, and like to use Lincoln as an example of their party because he issued the Emancipation Proclamation and ended slavery to make their party look good. Except, if Lincoln were alive today, he would unquestionably be a Democrat or liberal of some form. Today's Republicans, and most Republicans from 1960 or so onward, would have been Democrats back in Lincoln's day up until The Civil Rights era. Not that I am backing Democrats here though, as I think they are every bit as deplorable as Republicans are since both parties only concern is the preservation of private capital.

"Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class, made into law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the economic conditions of the existence of your class." - Marx (addressing the bourgeois)
