There was only one General Election in the Civil War - November 1864 - and Lincoln had to call his party by a different name in that election.
What president was not a Republican?
Millard Fillmore, the 13th President was a Whig. He was originally the Vice President under Zachary Taylor of the Whig Party. When Taylor died, Fillmore became President.However, the Democratic Party of James Buchanan was only vaguely related to the modern Democratic Party. The Democrats split just before the Civil War and ran separate candidates. After the Civil War, the only white Southerners who were allowed to vote were people who had not supported the Confederate government. Eventually they were all allowed to vote and a new national Democratic Party was formed . Grover Cleveland was the first member of the new Democrats to win.
What US president was the only president to not belong to any political party when first elected?

What is an example of Straight ticket?
There are two ways to vote a "straight ticket," which means you vote for only Democrats or only Republicans. You can go down the ballot and vote for everyone from that party, or you can check the "straight ticket" box and have the same thing happen. North Carolina does it a little different: checking "straight ticket" votes for everyone in that party except the president, who is voted for separately. The reason this is done is a lot of people vote for Democrats for every elected office, then vote Republican for president.
