According to Wikipedia, "The Senate passed the (13th) amendment (abolishing slavery) on April 8, 1864, by a vote of 38 to 6. However, just over two months later on June 15, the House failed to do so, with 93 in favor and 65 against, thirteen votes short of the two-thirds vote needed for passage; the vote split largely along party lines, with Republicans supporting and Democrats opposing."
The second vote:
"In mid-January, Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax estimated the amendment to be five votes short of passage. Ashley postponed the vote.[66] At this point, Lincoln intensified his push for the amendment, making direct emotional appeals to particular members of Congress.[67] On January 31, 1865, the House called another vote on the amendment, with neither side being certain of the outcome. Every Republican supported the measure, as well as 16 Democrats, almost all of them lame ducks. The amendment finally passed by a vote of 119 to 56,[68] narrowly reaching the required two-thirds majority."

The Republican party was is the party of the republic, (a republic is the form of government the founders and framers designed), which is the United States. The party was created to give American's that believed in the Constitution a party to stand with. The Constitution is against slavery and so is the republic. The republican party was the first to have an African American and former Slave, Fredrick Douglass, as a vice presidential candidate.
The Republican Party was and still is anti slavery. Abraham Lincoln, the president that ended slavery, was a Republican. The Democrat Party supported slavery. Many that fought, fought to defend their state regardless of their views on slavery.
