In the Republican platform of 1856 the first resolve was
"That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Independence, and embodied in the Federal Constitution are essential to the preservation of our Republican institutions, and that the Federal Constitution, the rights of the States, and the union of the States, must and shall be preserved."
The Republican party from its inception was supportive of the rights of States. Popular myth would tell you otherwise, but the document speaks for itself.
