The Republican Party was formed by Free Soilers who did not want slavery to spread into the western territories. They were not friendly toward blacks, they just did not want to compete for jobs or lower the wages available. Most western territories excluded blacks or made it very difficult for them to migrate into these areas, free or slave. Basically, the Republican Party was a working-class party for white men.
