The Republican Party was formed by former anti-slavery Whigs. The Whig party had grown factions like the rest of the country, so there were both pro and anti slavery Whigs. The anti-slavery Whigs felt their cause was too important to be in a party which only offered partial support for the cause, so they took the opportunity to form a new party that placed anti-slavery at its forefront.
