In the 1850s, following the disintegration of the Whig Party, the southern wing of the Democratic Party became increasingly associated with the expansion of slavery, in opposition of the newly formed Republican Party.

 CAIN: Abstracts of Organisations - 'S'
The standing of SF in the polls, and the fear that it would surpass the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) as the main voice of Nationalists in Northern Ireland, was one of the reasons why the British government signed the Anglo-Irish Agreement in 1985.
The party was therefore to play a role in the negotiations that were to produce the Good Friday Agreement (GFA) in April 1998 and campaigned for a 'Yes' vote in the subsequent referendum campaign in May 1998.
With SF's growing involvement in the political process came increasing evidence that the party was emerging as a major rival to the SDLP as the voice of the nationalist electorate in Northern Ireland.
