Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

brought to you by the anti federalists Those who fight

00:09

for the state's right to party All right The republican

00:12

party drew many of its members from what Not here

00:16

The potential answers party party party All right well let's

00:20

address the elephant in the room The republican party has

00:23

not always been a mainstay of u s politics Every

00:26

few decades the political landscape endures an earthquake of sorts

00:30

And once the dust settles new political parties emerged to

00:32

shake up the conversation Did the republican party draw many

00:36

of its members from eh the federalist party Will the

00:40

federalist party which advocated for a strong central government disappeared

00:45

from the national scene after the war of eighteen twelve

00:49

republican party however didn't get together until the eighteen fifties

00:52

So a isn't the answer for us The republican party

00:55

draw many of its members from the the democratic republican

00:58

party Well the democratic republicans who with the federalist made

01:02

up the first party system called it quits during andrew

01:05

jackson's presidency when these champions for small government were largely

01:09

absorbed in a new democratic party that was around eighteen

01:12

Twenty eight So we're still not quite there Could the

01:15

republicans have drawn its core constituents from devi the anti

01:19

federalist party Well the anti federalists were opposed to real

01:23

shocker here The federalist anti federalists led by patrick henry

01:29

thought the national government was encroaching on state's rights and

01:32

they did all they could to prevent the ratification of

01:35

the new constitution So that's a d for effort What

01:38

about the the progressive party Will the progressive party led

01:41

by theodore roosevelt was actually an offshoot of the republican

01:44

party since teddy was unable to reclaim the nineteen twelve

01:47

republican nomination from his friend turned rival william howard taft

01:52

So if he takes us in the exact opposite direction

01:55

well that means the republican party drew many of its

01:57

members from see the wig party Bingo The republican party

02:01

emerged from a political realignment in the eighteen fifties when

02:04

the issue of slavery split the existing parties Most wigs

02:09

who were largely northerners opposed to slavery joined the republicans

02:13

when their party went extinct So option c is the

02:16

correct answer Shortly after the party's formacion abraham lincoln became

02:19

the first republican elected to the oval office which unfortunately

02:23

triggered the secession of southern states What a bunch of 00:02:26.68 --> [endTime] political party poopers
