As the old parties broke up, antislavery zeal gave rise to the new Republican Party. Opposition to slavery was the center of the Republican philosophy. Attracting antislavery Democrats, Whigs, Free-Soilers and Know-Nothings, the Republican Party grew rapidly in the North.

∙ 11y agolies and deceit...the whole idea of the Republican Party is "less government..." what they don't realize is that their over-all belief is "less government control over businesses" in other words, rich get richer, poor stay poor. That is why whenever a Republican has taken office since the 20th century began the unemployment has skyrocketed to double digits, and reaches all time lows whenever a Democrat takes office. This is not opinion, it is a historical fact.
