"The party formed by combining several antislavery factions."
Brief explanation: The Republican Party emerged in the mid-1850s (formally 1854) as a coalition of anti-slavery groups — Northern Whigs, Free Soilers, anti-Nebraska Democrats, and other opponents of the Kansas–Nebraska Act — united to prevent the expansion of slavery into the territories. It did not evolve from the old Democratic-Republicans and was driven primarily by disagreement over slavery’s expansion rather than a single debate about the role of government or a push for centralized rule.
