History of the United States Republican Party
As has been discussed several times in the past at Talk:History of the United States Republican Party, the Republican party grew out of the 1854 "anti-Nebraska" movement, which mobilized in opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act introduced in congress in January 1854. There were various precursors to the Republican party (most notably the Free Soil Party), and various groupings which called themselves "Republican" prior to 1854 (often in honor or Thomas Jefferson's old "Democratic-Republicans"), but if they happened before the introduction of the Kansas-Nebraska Act into congress, then they were not in the main line of development of the Republican party...
