Answer:

Republican

Step-by-step explanation:

The Republican Party was formed in 1854. by the former members of the Whig Party who were opposed to slavery and wanted something to be done about the matter. The first meeting was on March 20th the same year in Wisconsin. They wished to fight for a better and more modern America and the abolition of slavery. The idea was to have free soil and free men.

They quickly managed to get support on the North. Abraham Lincoln was the first republican president, elected in 1860.
