The Whig Party (whose final collapse was the result of the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 - since Southern Whigs joined the Democrats in supporting it, but Northern Whigs opposed it)
The Republican party was formed on March 20, 1854, by anti-slavery Whigs who met in the upper Midwestern states to discuss the formation of a new party. The Republican party gained strength very quickly, as many people blamed the Kansas Border wars on the Democrats.

Slavery was the first big issue for the Republican Party-- the party was formed mostly of people against slavery. When the Whigs split over slavery, most of the anti-slavery Whigs joined the Republicans.
