When Ronald Laone's son was eleven, he asked his father, "What
does it mean to be a conservative?" From that simple question came
a journey of political enlightenment for father and son, one that
culminated in The Republican Party, a history of the Republican
Party, leaders, and beliefs.
Beginning with a comprehensive overview of the origins of the
Republican Party, Laone examines the various political battles of
the nineteenth century and how they shaped the party's
establishment in 1854 and its core ideologies. He then profiles
each Republican president from Abraham Lincoln to George W. Bush,
offering a short biography and major highlights of each one's
presidency.
Laone also reveals the major political firsts of the Republican
Party, including the first African-American US senator, the first
Hispanic US congressman, and the first female US congresswoman,
recording their significant contributions to the conservative
movement. A comprehensive bibliography offers titles for further
reading.
Thoroughly researched and educational, The Republican Party
offers information for those seeking to understand the origins of
conservative thinking, values, and beliefs within the American
political system.
