however, the <a href="/wiki/1860_United_States_presidential_election" title="1860 United States presidential election">1860 presidential election</a> and the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">Civil War</a> dealt a devastating blow to the party from which it never really recovered. Between 1860 and 1918, the Minnesota Democratic Party was a distant second party to the dominant <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_of_Minnesota" title="Republican Party of Minnesota">Republican Party</a>. During that period, Democrats held the office of <a href="/wiki/Governor_of_Minnesota" title="Governor of Minnesota">Governor of Minnesota</a> for a grand total of seven years, never controlled either chamber of the <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_Legislature" title="Minnesota Legislature">Minnesota Legislature</a>, and Minnesota never cast a single electoral vote in favor of a Democratic presidential nominee. </p><p>Following the establishment of the Farmer-Labor Party in 1918, the Minnesota Democratic Party was relegated to <a href="/wiki/Third_party_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Third party (United States)">third party</a> status, as the Farmer-Laborites became the primary opposition to the Republicans. During the 1930s, a political alliance between Minnesota Governor <a href="/wiki/Floyd_B._Olson" title="Floyd B. Olson">Floyd B. Olson</a> and <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">President</a> <a href="/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt" title="Franklin D. Roosevelt">Franklin D. Roosevelt</a> bred closer cooperation between the Farmer-Laborites and the Democrats. With a large backing from Farmer-Laborites, Roosevelt became the first Democrat ever to win Minnesota's electoral votes in <a href="/wiki/1932_United_States_presidential_election" title="1932 United States presidential election">1932</a>, and went on to win the state in each of his re-election bids. In the <a href="/wiki/Minnesota_gubernatorial_election,_1936" class="mw-redirect" title="Minnesota gubernatorial election, 1936">1936 gubernatorial election</a> the Democratic Party opted not to run its own candidate for Governor, endorsing Farmer-Labor candidate <a href="/wiki/Elmer_Austin_Benson" class="mw-redirect" title="Elmer Austin Benson">Elmer Austin Benson</a> instead. </p><p>After the Farmer-Laborites' spectacular fall from power in the 1938 general election, there was increasing pressure from the national Democratic Party for a merger between the Minnesota Democratic Party and the Farmer-Labor Party. In spite of substantial minorities in both parties continuing to oppose merging, the majority in the Farmer-Labor Party led by former Governor Benson and the slim majority of the Minnesota Democratic Party led by future <a href="/wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States" title="Vice President of the United States">Vice President</a> <a href="/wiki/Hubert_H._Humphrey" class="mw-redirect" title="Hubert H. Humphrey">Hubert H.
