The 1856 Republican Nominee for U. S. President, the first Republican Presidential Nominee, was John C. Fremont. The Republicans were a new party in 1856 and could not compete with the well-established Democratic Party organization. The Democrats won 45% of the popular vote and carried 19 states. The Republicans won 33% and carried 14 states, all in the North. There was also a competing third-party, the "Know-Nothings" who got 21.6% of the popular vote and actually carried Maryland.
