Depending on the time frame you're referring too the answer can vary. Ideologically, republicans are conservatives, as are the Tories (the conservative party) so one could so they are most alike.

Was Thomas Abraham Clark a anti-federalist?

He cant be. Thomas Jefferson was a Democratic Republican. Thomas Jefferson began as an Anti-Federalist. During the Presidency of George Washington, he was a member of the 'Opposition' faction. Eventually he joined the Republican party - not to be mixed up with the Republican party that was established 1856-today. These republicans were referred to as 'Democrats' by the Federalists, who thought their ideals were more mob-rule than true republicanism. Today they are sometimes called the Jeffersonian Republicans. This even, does not quite fit, since the party underwent many changes. IE, in 1825, the two parties were considered 'Jackson Democrats and the 'Adams Republicans'. By 1829, The Republicans/Jefferson's party had become the "Democratic Republicans" (The name that still sticks today in referring to his party). The Adams Republicans had become the "National Republicans." By 1835 or so, the Democratic Republicans had dropped the Republic and just become "Democrats". The National Republicans had become the "Whigs." In 1850, when the Democratic Party won the Missouri compromise, a major pro-slavery battle, the Whigs lost their prominence. Most Whigs joined with several other minor parties to form the "Republicans" (The republican party of today), while some joined the Democrats. The Republicans became a major thorn in the side to the pro-slavery Democrats, launching their first platform in 1856 focusing primarily on civil rights. So to answer your question more succinctly: He was an anti-Federalist/Opposition/'Republican' (In the sense of what became later the Democratic Republicans or Democrats or 'Jeffersonian Republicans', not modern Republicans.)

What was the conflict between the Tories and the Patriots?

The Patriots and the Tories were two groups of people during the American Revolution. The Patriots were a group of "rebels" against the King(George III) and wanted freedom and independence in America. The Tories were "loyalists", that is, loyal to the King. They were against independence in America and were proud of being British. They most likely just didn't want conflict with Britain during this time.

Lincoln did not change parties in 1864- he ran as the Republican nominee just as he did in 1860. ( He became a Republican because his old Whig party split over slavery and died out- most northern Whigs became Republicans.)

What political party was John Tyler affiliated with?

He was a member of the "Democratic-Republican" party, which existed from 1792 until 1825. When John Quincy Adams was elected, the party dissolved into two factions: the Democrats, and the "National Republicans" which eventually became the Whigs. Tyler initially supported the Democrats but later he ran for vice-president as a member of the Whigs. However, he rejected most of the Whigs' agenda, and when he ascended to the Presidency he was expelled from the party, after which Tyler formed a new "Democratic-Republican" party but they only held one convention.


What is Obama's source of opposition?

Most of President Obama's opponents are Republicans, especially conservative Republicans.

Many Republicans also oppose social programs like Medicare and food stamps, which most Democrats and the president support.
