I started wondering about which parties presidential candidates where affiliated with, so I came up with this list. In each case I've listed the first (or only) president elected from that party.
Independent (George Washington) Federalist (John Adams) Democratic-Republican (Thomas Jefferson) Democratic (Andrew Jackson) Whig (William Henry Harrison) Republican (Abraham Lincoln) National Union (Abraham Lincoln)
