The Republican Party is one of the two dominant political parties in the 
United States of America, with the other one being the 
Democratic Party.
The party was founded as an anti-slavery party by those who opposed the Kansas–Nebraska Act, as well as members within the 
Whig Party and the File:FreeSoil-icon.png Free Soil Party, in 1854.
The first Republican President, File:AbrahamLincoln-icon.png Abraham Lincoln, was elected in 1860, and following the war, the Republican Party began nominating American politics for most of its history until the Great Depression in the 1930s, attributed to Herbert Hoover.
Under File:Reagan-icon.png Ronald Reagan, the party shifted more conservative and right-wing, where it stands today.
