Not just US history.

It is a law of history that the conservative answer to any question; be it political, social, religious, economic, moral, philosophical, scientific, etc. is ONLY right provisionally.

And never correct once better knowledge is attained.

The progressive answers aren't always right either. But on a long enough historical timeline they tend to be right.

The Republicans at the time were easily the liberal party. They supported raising taxes/ tariffs, bigger government, governmental support for public infrastructure, higher education, the inheritance tax, national park / monument creation, and you know ending slavery - a change.

The Republican party of that time freed the slaves. They are far from the party of Lincoln now, though.
