They ran as Republicans in 1864 . Lincoln was a leader in the Republican party virtually since its inception. Johnson had long been a member of the old Democratic party which split over slavery. He was the only Southern senator who did not resign his position when his state seceded and so no longer had ties with the party that had sent him to Washington.

How many presidents were born before the US became a country?
I checked from Buchanan to Polk and can safely assume that Lincoln was the youngest of all presidents before him. Johnson is also older than Lincoln; however, Grant and Hayes belong to an entirely younger generation. So I can say that the 15 presidents before Lincoln plus the one president (Johnson) after Lincoln would be: 16 presidents. -Reloque
