The Repulican Party, in 1854. Interestingly, Republicans today have a rap for being racist or intolerant. Ironically, last week, with the passing of West Virgiina Democratic Senator Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan and virulently racist in the past, he was almost canonized by the Obama administration at his Eulogy. An alarming book about American History entitled "American History in Black and White" by author David Barton will help set the record straight on many misconceptions about our history. Truth is stranger than fiction. See link below:

What started the political parties?

Thomas Jefferson once said " that with two people you have a law firm and with three a political party." When there is any issue there are always people who are on both sides of it. Since that is the case people form themselves into groups thus creating political parties. Washington before he left office warned against political parties taking over the political process. He said that if that happened the common good of the people would be replaced by the needs of the political party. In looking at the election today I think he has been proven right.

How newspapers help political party?

Newspapers are a form of media that doles out information to a large audience. A political party would give specific information of news whether it be slanderous information about other parties and their magnates or information that shows the party in an appealing fashion. Furthermore, by using newspapers the political party could get their information out to a broader audience without having to move to each area where there are voters because this would be very expensive. Also, a political party would choose a printing firm that is not only well received by the people but also has the most audience. In this way they can not only appeal to many people but the citizens may actually believe everything written in the newspaper about that political party.

When was the first political party division in the US?

Thomas Jefferson once said that two people was a law firm and three a political party. My point is that from the very start of the nation political parties were divided. In 1789 there were the Federalist and the anti federalist. Washington warned that political parties were dangerous because they would only be concerned with reelection and maintaining power. He was right. So, the answer to your question is that there has always been fractions within the parties and they have become what we have today.
