So Jefferson's party was called the Republican (Democratic-Republican) Party, but I've seen Jefferson referred to as the "father of the Democratic Party."

Which party can trace its lineage to Jefferson, the modern Republican or the Democratic Party? Or neither?


 

Neither, but as a slave owner and the democrats being the party supporting the south during the Civil War I guess they could find some similarities.
