You cannot honestly believe that the majority of Republicans today would support slavery. Both sides are guilty of propaganda, however if people honestly believe this they need a more open minded and fair perspective.
No. I think the party would though. Most people that I know who vote republican (quite a bit) completely ignore the religious right wing, anti abortion, anti homosexual, etc part of the party and simply vote because they want lower capital gains and to put more money in their pocket. I think today's right wing party would absolutely be against abolition and they would justify it by being better for business and then offer a tax break for "all" Americans in order to get their vote.
I voted for the Republicans for almost 15 years based on this. Fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Ultimately I saw that the Republicans were not fiscally conservative and were a bunch of lunatics so I registered as an independent and have been voting that way for a handful of years now.
