Birthplace of the Republican party debated between Ripon and Jackson
The 75th anniversary of the Grand Old Party prompts a review of its origins in Ripon Wisconsin and Jackson Michigan. Alvan Bovay helped form the anti slavery party in Ripon while Michigan hosts a July 1854 oak grove mass meeting that adopted the Republican name. The era's rail split of Whigs Democrats Free Soilers and Know Nothings fused into a unified anti slavery movement led by Lincoln Fremont and Buchanan. The party's rise culminated in its 1860 victory and long dominance.
