The American Party is a conservative party in the United States. Additional information can be found at http://www.americanpartyofus.com/ . Originally called the American Independent Party. The American Party founded in 1969 by representatives from 37 states. Following the 1972 election, the American Party split from the American Independent Party. Both of the parties have nominated candidates for the presidency and other offices, although the AIP has considered itself a California affiliate of the Constitution Party. In New York, the party ran a state ticket in 1974 under the name of Courage Party, because a state law there prohibits the use of the word "American" on the ballot. The American Party won its strongest finish in the 1972 presidential election; nominee John G. Schmitz carried 1,090,673 votes (3rd place). In 1990, a small number of members of the party began The Christian Party, whose membership reportedly grew at a faster rate, but ultimately nothing came of it.〔Dennis, Delmar "The American Party" ''Contra Mundum'' Volume 4 (Summer 1992), pages 46-47.〕 The American Party has failed to achieve ballot status in any state since 1996. The party's original website disappeared sometime in 2008. Currently the party can be reached through their website http://www.americanpartyofus.com/ . In 2010 the Ohio party endorsed several Libertarian Party candidates. The party had a Florida affiliate, the American Party of Florida, that appeared to carry on operations into June 2011, but became defunct after that and no longer is listed as a political party in Florida. ==Presidential and Vice-presidential candidates== Electoral History of the American Party Sources for table: * ''Ohio Elects the President'' (2000), pp. 143–174. * (American Party history at OurCampaigns.com ) * James T.
