Republican Presidents History: The First Republicans
The first Republican Party Convention was held in 1856 at Philadelphia. The initial base of the Republican political party was in the Northeast and the upper Midwest. The official platform and ideology of the early Republican Party was reflected in the slogan "free labor, free land, free men".  The phrase "free labor" was a reference to their views that opposed slave labor and their beliefs in independent businessmen. The term "free land" demonstrated their opposition to the plantation system that depended on slaves, at the cost of independent farmers. The phrase "free men" was another reference to their opposition of human enslavement and also to governmental tyranny.

Republican Presidents: Early Causes
The early causes of the Republican Presidents and their political party were based on the belief of the rights of individuals rather than an intrusive government. They fought for the causes of Abolition (abolishing slavery) and Women’s suffrage (the right of women to vote). The Republican Party also worked to reduce the size of government and the bureaucracy that surrounded it and to return power to individual states.

Modern Republican Presidents: Republican versus Democratic
The views and beliefs of the later Republican Presidents are based upon American conservatism in contrast to the Democratic Party, whose members endorse more liberal policies. American conservatism is defined as a belief in traditional values with a centralized government protecting its citizens’ lives, liberty and property. Republican Presidents strive to further the belief that individuals, not government, can make the best decisions.
The liberal policies of the Democratic Party adhere to a socially liberal and progressive platform opposing government spending, especially in the form of corporate charters for banks and other financial enterprises.
