The Rise Of The Republican Party In The 1960s

The Liberal party was successful in the past due to its ability to reinvent itself in order to meet the changing circumstances and needs. The ‘proactive’ Liberal was strangely absent in the pre-2011 election campaign and turned themselves into a reactive and passive entity just to defend and respond to the opposition’s unscrupulous campaign of personal attacks and vilification. Liberals were always based firm on their political values and philosophy; however, these vital elements of the party were not seen to being used during the campaign for 2011 election as much as it was seen being caught in the mud-tossing against the Harper Government.

In the late 1800s, as the Civil War-torn America conflicted with high political strain and the disfavor of the Democratic south, created the decade-long ruling of the Republican party. However, relations with the Republican party strained after President Grant’s term resulted in a division to occur in the party. Therefore, created the two groups known as the Stalwarts and the Half-Breeds. For this reason, the Republican party underwent a great stalemate in 1880. Because of this stalemate, on the thirty-sixth ballot, presidential elect James A. Garfield won the nomination for the Republican nominee. Eventually leading him to win the presidential election of 1880. As the nation cheered in celebration, a menacing man known as Roscoe Conkling,

2. Who were the new Republicans? Which groups comprised this party? What was its platform?

The Republicans undoubtedly utilized a great amount of opportunistic fortitude and orchestrated a rapid rise into prominence. There was most definitely (an emphasis on the moral superiority of the Republicans' stance). Some dramatic events which occurred between 1855 and 1856 intensified their growing power due to the need for structure essentially. During the 1854 and 1855 elections, hundreds of pro-slavery Missouri residents casted unscrupulous ballots in Kansas (Pg 491- Foner).

In the article The Fears of the Federalist by Linda K. Kerber and The Fears of the Jeffersonian Republic by Drew R. McCoy, both draws the ideals of the federalist and the Republicans distant conflict of opposing ideas in the political field. Kerber expresses, in her article, how federalist were carefully placed people with leadership from the top minds of wealthy society. As for McCoy shined the Republicans in his article as a bright blue collar society of united people that were more willing to change with more of rebellious mindset. Yet these groups seem to have ideas on different spectrums of the political layout. A vision of what America should become, both feared that the effects of each other's assembly would have on the public and influence for change in the future of the United States stability at home and foreign.

FDR’s desire to “purge” and reform the party system was based on a belief that intra-party battles where the cause for the dysfunctionality in American politics and its inefficiency of mobilization to needed change.

In conclusion, this paper shows of how the Whigs were created and how they fell apart. The Whigs are actually from England, but a man named Henry Clay created the American Whig Party. They had a Jeffersonian economic agenda and they rose from programs regarding tariffs, internal improvement along with the banks. However, the Whigs were a short-lived party. Whigs saw themselves as independent thinkers and they also didn’t hesitate to turn against each other. These issues along with a new party on the rise would end the life of the Whig Party. This party was known as the Republican Party. The creation of the Republican Party came from people who were against slavery. They also believed in higher education, banking, building railroads, creating

After the War of 1812, The United States entered a period of intense social, political and economic change. These changes would eventually deconstruct America into two factions that would go to war in 1861. The era before that, 1815-1850, has been given many names. The “antebellum period” and “Jacksonian democracy” are just two of the long list. However, I propose that we pull from one of the most important themes of this era: the ideology of republicanism. Republicanism defined the United States since its beginnings as a mere colony rebelling against monarchial tyranny. Therefore I suggest we name the textbook “republicanism: 1816-1850.”

Federalists also feared that the Republicans would “'...break down the 'barrier of habitual morality...both as it respects our civil & religious institutions...”9. Of course, this referred to the cultivation of the public desire rather than the elite rich and educated. As

A key turning point in American politics was the election of 1980. It indicated the new electoral power of the suburbs. The success that Reagan had as a conservative would initiate a group of parties because liberals and conservatives would either leave politics or change party affiliations through 1980 's and 1990 's. The research shows this caused the 1980 election to be recalled as one of America 's best historical events.

According to American Government and Politics Today, this term “is a closely linked set of beliefs about politics” (13). In today’s society, the two main political ideologies can be split into liberalism and conservatism. The Republican party’s ideology is a prime example of this conservative view. According to American Government and Politics Today, conservative individuals believe that the government should promote “economic liberty, morality, and social order” (15). Tying this back to the article, the Republican party is in favor of stability and a hierarchy. This means that they support a national government that does not interfere with things such as the economy. Democrats, on the other hand, lean toward liberal views. In the article, Democrats support progressive change, which is a characteristic described in the textbook. This means that Democrats want the national government to make positive changes. In addition, the article provided an example of politics. According to American Government and Politics Today, “politics is the struggle over power or influence within organizations” (2). In this case, it was the struggle between the Republicans and Democrats when it came to
