The modern Republican Party was born on March 20, 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin as an outgrowth of the dissolved Whig party, choosing the name to recall to mind the founders; no matter that the aims were now different. The Whig party had dissolved due to internal disputes following the Kansas-Nebraska Act. (The Kansas-Nebraska Act involved the admittance of those two territories into the Union and whether or not the Missouri Compromise, which held that states above the 36'30 line would not be slaveholding states, should be repealed as a result.) In the beginning largely a regional party of the Midwest states, the Republican Party's major issue was opposition to the spread of slavery to the western states. Their influence quickly spread throughout the Midwest and north, and they offered their first presidential candidate in 1856. John C. Fremont was a Western explorer who had earned the nickname "Pathfinder" due to his exploits. \

If you knew anything you'd know that the Dem Party today is fully the opposite of the Jeffersonian Party. Today's Dems are Socialists and demagogues.
