Founding of the Republican Party

On July 6, 1854, just after the anniversary of the nation, an anti-slavery state convention was held in Jackson, Michigan. The hot day forced the large crowd outside to a nearby oak grove. At this “Under the Oaks Convention” the first statewide candidates were selected for what would become the Republican Party.

​

United by desire to abolish slavery, it was in Jackson that the Platform of the Under the Oaks Convention read: “…we will cooperate and be known as REPUBLICANS…” Prior to July, smaller groups had gathered in intimate settings like the schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin. However, the meeting in Jackson would be the first ever mass gathering of the Republican Party.

​

The name “Republican” was chosen, alluding to Thomas Jefferson’s Democratic-Republican Party and conveying a commitment to the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

"There needs to be a reset, a refocus, today. We need our future conservative leaders, the young adults out there, to be critical and objective thinkers. We don't want our kids, youth to be conditioned to believe automatically the things they are told to believe by loud liberal democrats. The 2016 election proved a silent majority of Republicans and conservatives exist and exercise their rights through voting. They are feeling a need now to speak more loudly too. They MUST use their morality as a guide and always ask for the facts before they commit to a belief," Linda Prestia-DTRO Republican Committeeman
