A Little History of the GOP

The Whig Party Symbol was an owl, symbolizing wisdom. "formed in 1832 by opponents of the high-handed, autocratic attitude of "King Andrew" Jackson and the policies of the Democratic Party, which led to Jackson's Bank War and the destruction of the Second Bank of the United States. Originally called National Republicans, the party members consisted of many political groups such as nullifiers, anti-masons but were united as strong opponents to Jackson and as advocates of a national banking system. The National Republicans changed their name to the Whig Party, a traditional term used by opponents of tyrannical monarchies, to emphasize their views of Andrew Jackson. The demise of the Whig party in the 1850s was due to conflicts between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions and many former Whigs joined the new Republican Party.  https://www.government-and-constitution.org/history-us-political-parties/whig-party.htm

The Republican Party, originally called the National Union Party, was formed in 1854 to oppose the extension of slavery. The Republican Party is known by the acronym GOP meaning "Grand Old Party". 

"The Free Soil Party and the National Union Party was the forerunner to the Republican Party and was formed to further the beliefs of national interest above sectional interests and states' rights. In 1860 Abraham Lincoln was elected as its first leader"  https://www.government-and-constitution.org/history-us-political-parties/republican-party.htm
