What is another word for constitutional union party?
Pronunciation: [kˌɒnstɪtjˈuːʃənə͡l jˈuːni͡ən pˈɑːti] (IPA) 
The Constitutional Union Party, also known as the "Union Party," was a political party in the United States that emerged in the 1860s during a time of great division over issues surrounding slavery and states' rights. Synonyms for the Constitutional Union Party might include the "Conservative Unionist Party," the "Unity Party," or the "National Union Party." These alternatives reflect the party's commitment to preserving the Union and promoting compromise, rather than engaging in the more extreme tactics favored by other political groups during the tense period leading up to the Civil War. Despite their good intentions, however, the Constitutional Union Party was ultimately unable to prevent the outbreak of war.
