Wisconsin, 1854...
Free Soil Party Join Now!
Free soil! Free speech! Free labour and free men! Join me in the Free Soil Party!
No! Go boil your shirt. The Free Soil Party will never have any real political impact! Democrat is where it's at.
Free Soil Party Join Now!
Aw man... I wish we could finally be more significant.
Later...
Excuse me sir! Sir is it true that you are a Free Soiler? I'm Alvan Bovay, a Whig! It is so great to meet you. I strongly dislike government policies towards Kansas and the expansion of slavery!
Why yes... I also dislike those things! I also support abolitionism... it seems that we share similar political views!
I just had the greatest idea, hear me out! We should combine our political parties! The Whigs and the Free Soil Party would have some real political power as one force in the upcoming election!
That is such a fantastic idea, my friend! Let's get together with some Northern Democrats, too! We just need a new name!
Two years later...
Greetings, everyone! I am John C. Frémont, I'm sure you all know me as a popular explorer from California. I am honored to be your representative, despite my little political experience!
I will do my very best against James Buchanan's Southern Democrats!
I am probably going to lose.
The Republican Party was born at the Republican National Convention in 1856
