History (from Democratic Party) --  Encyclopædia Britannica The Federalists called Jefferson's faction the Democratic-Republican Party in an attempt to identify it with the disorder spawned by the “radical democrats” of the French Revolution of 1789. After the Federalist John Adams was elected president in 1796, the Republican Party served as the country's first opposition party, and in 1798 the Republicans adopted the derisive Democratic-Republican label as their official name. The party's congressional caucus nominated William H. Crawford of Georgia, but Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams, the leaders of the party's two largest factions, also sought the presidency; Henry Clay, the speaker of the House of Representatives, was nominated by the Kentucky and Tennessee legislatures. www.britannica.com /eb/article-233981?hook=797879   (2512 words)

Reader's Companion to American History - -REPUBLICAN PARTY The western tradition of radical Republicanism was sustained by continuing economic hardship in the agricultural states, but its spokesmen in the Senate—La Follette of Wisconsin, William Borah of Idaho, George Norris of Nebraska, and Hiram Johnson of California—were regarded derisively as the "Sons of the Wild Jackass" by the party elite. The Republican party has been a major political force in the United States since it first appeared on the presidential ballot in 1856. During this period the progressive wing (also referred to as the moderate or even liberal wing of the party) was able to control the party's national convention because of its strength in the large delegations of the northeastern states and support from the progressive states of the Pacific Coast. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/rcah/html/ah_074900_republicanpa.htm   (2267 words)

History of the United States (1980-1988) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Anderson's share of the popular, totaling 6.6 percent, was moderately impressive for a third party candidate in the United States, demonstrating that a sizable share of moderate voters, while disenchanted with Carter, did not approve of Reagan's staunchly conservative agenda. The result in the Soviet Union was a dual approach of concessions to the United States and economic restructuring (perestroika) and democratization (glasnost) domestically, which eventually made it impossible for Gorbachev to reassert central control.

Christian churches usually do not demand this full literal sacrifice of family members, but the point is clear: the family is the property of the church, to be exploited in whatever ways the church desires.
