Ironically, Lincoln would be horrified and the Radical Republican politicians during the Civil War/Reconstruction period would be moreso if they somehow came back to life and saw what the Republican party has become.

Especially after the 1950’s and '60s when large numbers of conservative former southern Democrats like Strom Thurmond left for the Republican party due to increasing influences of Democratic politicians more sympathetic to Civil Rights and ending Jim Crow laws in the south. Nixon’s Southern Strategy campaign in 1968 cemented and largely completed this trend.

That is a bit of revisionist history.Lincoln was anti-slavery but he did not believe in the equality of the races. If he would be horrified at the modern Republic party, it would be that they had black men in a serious run for the presidency in the last few election cycles.
