On top of everything else that people have discussed there is also an element of the Republican Party having, quite simply, become the right because they won so hard on policy over the course of the 1860s. There's a letter from Justin Smith Morrill where he talks to a friend about Republican policy "hardening into the bones of the Constitution" via Radical Reconstruction. That sort of sentiment is in and of itself inevitably going to come across as more "left-wing" before it actually happens and more "right-wing" once it has happened.
