Democrats supported slavery, the first Republican President (Lincoln) freed the slaves. From then until FDR, the South was Democratic...things flip-flopped during the Great Depression/WWII chaos of the 1930-1945 period, and FDR realized that liberal programs and the war would get the US out of depression. From then on, Democrats are liberals, Republicans conservatives, until 2000, where Republicans became only socially conservative and as fiscally irresponsible as any Democratic Congress.

Yes. Really, the parties have sort of flipped sides. In the 1950s it was the Democrats pushing Jim Crow laws.

The south had not forgiven the Republicans, the party of Lincoln, for the Civil War and its devastation of Dixieland.
