In the early 20th century, the traditional symbol of the Democratic Party in Midwestern states such as Indiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Ohio was the rooster, as opposed to the Republican eagle.

Democrats in the Northern states joined the Republicans in opposing the expansion of slavery, and at the 1860 nominating convention the Party split and nominated two candidates (see U.S. presidential election, 1860).

The largest political party in independent Sri Lanka, the United National Party (UNP), emerged as an umbrella party from the colonial era.
National defense consumed less than 4 percent of the government budget in the postindependence years, and hence the military was not in a position to interfere with politics.
Known later as the "uncle-nephew party" because of the kinship ties among the party's top leadership, the UNP served as the standard-bearer of conservative forces.
