address the elephant in the room The republican party has
- 00:23
not always been a mainstay of u s politics Every
- 00:26
few decades the political landscape endures an earthquake of sorts
- 00:30
And once the dust settles new political parties emerged to
- 00:32
shake up the conversation Did the republican party draw many
- 00:36
of its members from eh the federalist party Will the
- 00:40
federalist party which advocated for a strong central government disappeared
- 00:45
from the national scene after the war of eighteen twelve
- 00:49
republican party however didn't get together until the eighteen fifties
- 00:52
So a isn't the answer for us The republican party
- 00:55
draw many of its members from the the democratic republican
- 00:58
party Well the democratic republicans who with the federalist made
- 01:02
up the first party system called it quits during andrew
- 01:05
jackson's presidency when these champions for small government were largely
- 01:09
absorbed in a new democratic party that was around eighteen
- 01:12
Twenty eight So we're still not quite there Could the

they did all they could to prevent the ratification of
- 01:35
the new constitution So that's a d for effort What
- 01:38
about the the progressive party Will the progressive party led
- 01:41
by theodore roosevelt was actually an offshoot of the republican
- 01:44
party since teddy was unable to reclaim the nineteen twelve
- 01:47
republican nomination from his friend turned rival william howard taft
- 01:52
So if he takes us in the exact opposite direction
- 01:55
well that means the republican party drew many of its
- 01:57
members from see the wig party Bingo The republican party
- 02:01
emerged from a political realignment in the eighteen fifties when
- 02:04
the issue of slavery split the existing parties Most wigs
- 02:09
who were largely northerners opposed to slavery joined the republicans
- 02:13
when their party went extinct So option c is the
- 02:16
correct answer Shortly after the party's formacion abraham lincoln became
- 02:19
the first republican elected to the oval office which unfortunately
- 02:23
triggered the secession of southern states What a bunch of 00:02:26.68 --> [endTime] political party poopers
