Actually, there were several. The first was the Liberty Party, which was organized in 1839. Its founders were abolitionists and activists in the anti-slavery movement. The Liberty Party ran presidential candidates in 1840 and 1844, but lacked the organization or the popular support to garner many votes. However, they did bring further attention to the importance of using politics in the fight against slavery. By 1856, the Republican Party had been founded, and it then carried the fight far more successfully than the Liberty Party was able to do.

The Republican Party was founded in the 1850s as an anti-slavery party, primarily opposing the expansion of slavery into new territories. While some individuals who identified as Republicans in the 19th century may have owned slaves before the party's formation, the party itself was established on principles that were fundamentally against slavery.
