We all know that Marx thought very highly of Lincoln, writing him a letter congratulating on his reelection in 64, we also have Turtledove's view on Lincoln after the WoS.
My question is, is it plausible or likely that Lincoln could/would have slanted the Republican Party to the left, favoring, in the words of the 56 platform, Free Men, Free Soil and Fremont?
