Was Abraham Lincoln democrat or republican?
Abraham Lincoln was Republican, and the Republican Party's first US President. (It should be noted that the Republican party of the 1860s, like the Democratic party, was far different from the parties of today.) Shortly after he first entered politics in 1832, Abraham Lincoln joined the newly formed Whig party, and remained a devoted member until 1852, shortly before the destruction of the party. The Whig party dismantled in 1856 when members became deeply divided over the issue of slavery. Before leaving the Whigs, Lincoln ran for a seat in the Illinois State Legislature. He won but ended up declining to take the seat, because he wanted to run for Senator. He then left the Whigs and briefly joined the "Know Nothing Party," a minor political party, which stemmed from the now defunct Whigs.In 1856, he joined the Republican Party, and was nominated by the party as the Senatorial candidate in the 1858 Senate race, in which he lost to Democrat incumbent Stephan Douglas, the most powerful man in the Senate.In early 1860, Lincoln was invited by a faction of the New York Republicans to deliver a speech on the abolition of slavery. His "Cooper Union" speech in New York made the claim that the federal government's power was restricted when it came to limiting slavery in the territories. Lincoln then was nominated by the Republican Party as their Presidential candidate in July of 1860. He won the presidential race on November 6, 1860 by electoral votes, but only gained a little more than 40% of the popular vote.Lincoln was re-elected to a second presidential term in the 1864 election, and remained a member of the Republican Party until his untimely death in April 1865.No, he was a republican. He was elected twice as president, but was assassinated before he could complete his second term on April 14th 1865 and he died on April 15, 1865.
