The Republican Party in the Late 1800's: A Changing Role for American Government

Paperback (Rosen Classroom Jan. 1, 2004)
The Republican Party was founded in 1854 to abolish slavery. Abraham Lincoln was its first president. After the Civil War, as the Democratic Party foundered, party platforms shifted back and forth with the Republicans and Democrats battling over reconstruction of the South, civil rights, political corruption, and the power of big business over immigrants and the working poor.
