Had the party been called the federalist, free soil, or Anti-Jackson party AND had a chance of wining we would have been one. My family is part Cherokee and we could not forgive Andy Jackson for the trail of tears.
As to “Radical Republicans”. Legend has it we voted for Lincoln AND secession.
I just think it’s fallacy when folks here...not you particularly treat the moden parites as a constant since their inception.
Jefferson-Dems
Hamilton-Repubs
it’s a much more twisted tale
my wife...on my homepage.. is substantially Cherokee-Creek as are many native old family Tennessee valley peoples
your kin must have realized they were not happy with their Lincoln vote...
