Federalist-Republican Party

Logo of the Federalist-Republicans

The Federalist-Republican Party, also called the Federal-Republican Party, and sometimes shortened as the FedReps, is a major political party in the United States. It is currently the largest party of the country, with it's main rival being the newly founded Constitutional Liberal Party.

The Federalist-Republican Party was founded in 1804, when Federalists and Democratic-Republicans joined forces to oppose the candidacy of Jason S. Hobbs. The party slowly evolved over time, and became a home for former Federalists and Timesist Whigs when it was de-facto led by Rufus King. The party would gain popularity during the Calhoun administration. It eventually replaced the Free Soils as the main Northern party. The party has gained a large boost in popularity following the dissolution of the Democratic Party, becoming the *de facto* dominant party in the United States as of 1869.

## Factions

### Liberal Federalist-Republicans

The Liberal Federalist-Republicans are the moderate, traditional members of the party. They are led by incumbent President of the United States William F. Sarge. This faction is arguably the most powerful in intra-party politics, typically getting their favored candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency nominated in National Conventions.

### Conservative Federalist-Republicans

The Conservative Federalist-Republicans represent the center-right wing of the party. The leader of the Conservatives is usually considered to be Senator Eric Perkins of California. They have mostly denounced connections to the more recently formed Dixierepublican faction of the party, although Ohio Senator Steve Marshall has been highly criticized for his former defense of the Ku Klux Klan.

### Radical Federalist-Republicans

The Radical Federalist-Republicans are the solidly left-wing section of the FedReps. They have been led by the Vice President Charles Steen. The Radicals are usually attacked for their radical, sometimes even socialist economic policies. This faction is easily the strongest supporter of civil rights within the party.

### "Dixierepublican" Federalist-Republicans

If the Radicals were the most supportive of civil rights, the Dixierepublicans are to be considered the least supportive of civil rights. The Dixierepublican Federalist-Republicans are the strongly socially conservative, segregationist faction of the party. They do not have any truly consolidated leadership, only recently forming after the so-called "Party Switch of 1866", where the radically pro-segregation Democrats joined the Fedreps in an attempt to make it a pro-segregation, anti-civil rights party.

### Freshman Federalist-Republicans

The Freshman Federalist-Republicans are the newest faction of the party, and it is uncertain if they will remain for long. They are former Democrats who joined the Federalist-Republican party after the collapse of the Democrats, or in some cases slightly before it. Notable people of this faction include 1864 Democratic Presidential candidate John D. Rockefeller, Texas Senator Caser Shaft, and Secretary of State Wallace "Wally" West. They are not entirely supportive of FR policies, but are in the party nonetheless.
