political parties changed over time for good c: that why we are here today
Martin Van Buren favored reviving political parties because he believed without political parties there would be no debate over important issues. He felt perfect agreement would leave important issues such as slavery alone without any hope of ever ending it.
The Democratic Party had split into two wings (North and South), so the Republican Party was bound to get in, as its new candidate Abraham Lincoln was moderate on the slavery question.
In the process of government in free nations, like minded political persons find that working together as a group is a good way to accomplish a political agenda. For example, in the US when the Whig Party dissolved over sectionalism and the issue of slavery, people against slavery formed a new political party dedicated to end slavery in the US. These political minded people did not have to form a new political party, but they believed that in organized numbers within a party slavery could be ended.This is one example of how a political party can be formed.
The republican party began over the expansion of slavery. Thia party was composed of mainly northerners and was one of the two major political parties in our countries history.
