Abraham Lincoln left the Whig Party because he chose to join the Republican Party.

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln was a largely self-taught man who became a lawyer in Illinois, leader of the Whig Party and was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives, in which he remained for eight years. Elected to the House of Representatives of the United States in 1846, Lincoln promoted a rapid modernization of the economy through sectors such as banking, taxes and railroads. As he had originally agreed not to run for a second term in Congress and his opposition to US intervention in Mexico was unpopular within Illinois voters, Lincoln returned to Springfield to resume his career in law. He returned to politics in 1854 and became the leader of the construction of the new Republican Party, which had a large mass of voters in Illinois.
