Did you know...The Grand Old Party, the party responsible for the vast majority of civil rights legislation, began in a little schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin, in 1854. A small assembly of abolitionists came together to bring an end to the institution of slavery. This tiny group of individuals eventually gave way to a political party dedicated to freedom, equal opportunity and civil rights. The name “Republican” alludes to Thomas Jefferson’s Democratic-Republican Party and the commitment to the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
