The Republican Party was originally formed to push for the abolition of slavery. Abraham Lincoln is now recognized as the icon of the early days of the Republican Party.
What happened to the Republican Party in the post-slavery days given that it lost its original purpose? How did the Republican Party become the party of big business?
At what point did the Democratic Party become the more liberal party? Was it during the FDR administration and the New Deal? Was it during the JFK administration and the Civil Rights movement? Were Dewey and Eisenhower liberals? Were both major parties liberal during the 1932-1960 period?
