Lincoln was the first Republican president, elected in 1860. He was a member of the Whig Party from 1832 to 1854 before there was a Republican Party .

Essentially, the Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln promoted the individual freedoms of all men as well as the rights for all to receive a public education. Democrats, at the time, spoke of social progression, but did not act on it.
