After thinking about it, I found only ONE thing that never changed between the two parties since the Civil War:
Republicans always saw (and see) government as an moral institution that has to defend the puritan ideology of northern WASP, while Democrats were (and are) more open for other ways of life and less strict with morality.
Examples: Abolitionism, prohibition, moral majority were / are Republican "projects". Catholics, Jews, Immigrants, Southerners traditionally voted Democratic.
