the united states experienced another period of political realignment in the 1850s. the whigs collapsed as a national party due to sectional tensions regarding slavery. the republican party and the american party both sought to succeed the whigs as the main opposition to the democratic party, and the republicans eventually became the most popular party in the northern united states. the republicans absorbed many northern whigs, as well as some anti-slavery democrats and much of the free soil party. notable whigs who joined the republican party include abraham lincoln and william seward, while notable democrats who joined the republican party include hannibal hamlin and galusha a. grow. many southern whigs became democrats, though some formed the constitutional union party to contest the 1860 presidential election. after the american civil war, the republican party generally dominated the north while the democratic party dominated the south. republicans dissatisfied with president ulysses s. grant formed the liberal republican party for the 1872 presidential election, and many of these liberal republicans later joined the democratic party.
