Republican Party
Definition
- The Republican Party was born in the mid-nineteenth century to provide an answer to the future existence of slavery in the United States and to define the meaning of citizenship for the American republic. Whether the Republicans of the time knew this was their mission or not is irrelevant, for this is what they accomplished. [Source: Encyclopedia of U.S. Political History; Republican Party]
