Yes, Senator. The first 23 Black members of Congress were all Republicans, elected during Reconstruction after the Civil War (20 in the House, 2 in the Senate). The first Black Democrat in Congress was elected in 1934.

No. The Republican Party was founded in 1854 explicitly to oppose the expansion of slavery (opposing the Kansas-Nebraska Act). Its first president, Abraham Lincoln, led the Union to abolish it via the 13th Amendment. The party has never been pro-slavery in its history.
