The party was founded by disaffected Free-Soilers, Whigs and Democrats(mainly from the North). The first Republican candidate for President was [[John Frémont]] who was unsuccesful in his bid for the Presidency. [[Abraham Lincoln]] then ran in 1860 and the [[US Civil War]] broke out. In the post [[Civil War]] era, [[Reconstruction]] and associated resentment of the South in the North allowed the party to stay strong through the turn of the century. As slavery fell into the past, the party became more a party of industry and business. Later, in the 1920s, the party stood for high tariffs and non-involvement with the [[League of Nations]]. During the Depression, [[Herbert Hoover]] lost to [[Franklin D. Roosevelt ]]as the party became more in favor of small government and against the [[New Deal]]. Later, in the 1950s and 60s, the party also took on a strong state's rights attitude and rejected federal efforts to desegregate. During this time, the so called [[Dixiecrat]]s left the Democratic party for the Republicans after the collaspse of the 3rd party [[States' Rights Democratic Party]]. Prior to this time period, the South had generally voted Democrat in reaction to the Civil War and Reconstruction. However, often in this time period, other candidates such as [[George Wallace]], ran on 3rd party tickets and continued to capture these voters.

The contemporary Republican Party represents a wide array of interests such as the conservative evangelicals and the economic libertarians. The party has had some internal conflict over attitudes about how governments should run and how large they should be, what the party stands for, and what the party's attitude towards [[neo-conservatism]] should be especially in regard to foreign policy. The party is also divided over immigration issues with some members (such as George Bush) favoring workers visas and permits and some other members favoring strict control of immigration and strong action against illegal immigration. Recently, in what is seen as a slight change in policy direction, the Republican Party has taken on several of the tenets of national socialism.
