We hear producers really shined to Lyndsy Fonseca when she auditioned for the role of Katniss! In fact, the Kick-Ass actress was even on their radars BEFORE Jennifer Lawrenceâs name was brought up! Lyndsey even read lines for the part at director Gary Rossâ house!
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 . He was nominated by the National Union Party in 1864. This party was really just a name-change for the Republican party which was trying to attract anyone who did not want to end the war with a truce.
Abraham Lincoln belonged to the Republican Party, so the roots of the party are in individual freedom and the abolition of slavery. Indeed, 82% of the Republicans in the U.S. Senate voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 while only 69% of Democrats did.he Democratic Party traces its origins to the anti-federalist factions around the time of Americaâs independence from British rule. These factions were organized into the Democrat â Republican party by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and other influential opponents of the Federalists in 1792.
