  • Abraham lincoln first candidate

The Republican Party was originated in 1854 in the Northern States, and this formation gathered abolitionists, progressists, ex-Whigs and ex-Free Soilers. Its members regarded slavery as the great evil to fight against. The first candidate in the elections was Abraham Lincoln, who won and became the 16th President of the US in 1860.
