The term came back again in the 1960s to 1980s to indicate a Republican who broke with some of the party's planks regarding birth control, gay rights, immigration, marijuana, and the goal of making America all Christian. Most of the 'liberal' wing of the Republican party disappeared after the mid-1980s.

The party's founding members chose the name "Republican Party" in the mid-1850s as homage to the values of republicanism promoted by Thomas Jefferson's Republican party.[11] The idea for the name came from an editorial by the party's leading publicist Horace Greeley, who called for, "some simple name like 'Republican' [that] would more fitly designate those who had united to restore the Union to its true mission of champion and promulgator of Liberty rather than propagandist of slavery."[12] The name reflects the 1776 republican values of civic virtue and opposition to aristocracy and corruption.[13]

Part of this process resulted in the creation of a new party the Republican party. It was named in honor of Thomas Jefferson.
