How many presidents on money are Republicans?
Republicans on current US money are Lincoln and Grant,unless you count the one-dollar coins which show Hayes, Garfield and Andrew Johnson, whose Republican credentials can be questioned. In past years, Republicans Eisenhower and Salmon P. Chase have been on US money.
Why did the Republican Congress disagree with President Andrew Johnson's reconstruction plan?
A major area of disagreement between Abraham Lincoln and the Radical Republicans was that Lincoln wanted to forgive and reintegrate the South back into the Union as painlessly and smoothly as possible while restricting the rights of freed slaves, whereas the Radical Republicans wanted to punish the South as harshly as possible and grant full citizenship rights to freed slaves. After Lincoln's assassination, the Radical Republicans went on to pass a string of laws that would grant voting rights to freedmen, restrict any whites associated with the Confederacy from holding public office, create the South's first public school system, and provide charitable institutions like hospitals and asylums.
What happened when the Democratic Party attempted to choose a candidate for the presidency in 1860?
AnswerIt's not that the Democrats were unable to nominate their own candidate - it's that they chose not to. Ulysses S. Grant had been president for four years already and the Republican party was split over the question of a second term. His first four years were marked by corruption, incompetency, and nepotism. A group of Republicans split off from the main party and formed their own branch, called the Liberal Republicans. They formed a platform which spoke of ending Reconstruction and was thus appealing to the weakened Democratic party. Party leaders approached the Democrats and struck a deal with August Belmont, chairman, and John R. Doolittle, president, to unite the two parties beneath the Democratic ticket. This action is often construed by historians as a desperate move by all involved to defeat the highly popular hero of the Civil War - the Democrats simply didn't believe they could defeat him on their own, so they didn't try. They hoped that by uniting with the Liberal Republicans they could garner enough support to remove Grant from office. It may have worked, if only their choice of candidate had been more opportune. Horace Greeley, a well known and popular newspaper editor, had spent his entire career harpooning the Democratic party in his paper, calling then liars, murderers, thieves, alcoholics, and just about anything else insulting he could come up with. Many Democrats simply couldn't stomach voting for a man who had dedicated his life to insulting them, and either turned to Grant or abstained from voting all together.
