Was Edgar Allan Poe a republican?

Answer 1

Since the US Republican party was not started (1856) until after Poe died (1849), he could not have been a Republican. Poe was not politically active, and, because of his penchant for spreading false rumors, it would have been difficult to get a straight answer from Poe.

Answer 2

There is no evidence to suggest that Edgar Allan Poe was affiliated with the Republican party. Poe's political beliefs are not well-documented, but it is known that he had varying political views throughout his life and did not align with one specific party.

Answer 3

There is no known record of Edgar Allen Poe being a Freemason.
As of 3 January 2010, no information has ever been found that lists Edgar Allen Poe as a Freemason.
