The Republican Party
A Proud History
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..." Declaration of Independence, 1776
The Republican Party was founded in 1854, by anti-slavery expansion activists. The early Republican Party consisted of northern Protestants, factory workers, professionals, businessmen, prosperous farmers, and after the Civil War, and former black slaves.
With the election of president Abraham Lincoln, in 1860, the Republican Party largely dominated the national political scene until 1932. The party has undergone many ideological shifts since it fought to protect the rights of African Americans, leading to the passage of the Civil Rights Acts and the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments.
