I think the creator of this page, though meaning well, is confusing the National Union Party, arguably a self given or "temporary" title or nickname for the Republican party from 1864-68. @ FloridaArmy:, are you thinking of the short lived Liberal Republican Party of the early 1870s? Their platform and background seems to paralel the article description here. OgamD218 ( talk) 01:10, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Maynard lost and only received 26 total votes. All 24 from Tennessee, and 1 each from Alabama and Mississippi.[7]".
