The north was republican, the south was democrat. Prior to the civil war the two parties were actually the same party (Democratic Republicans), and around the time the country split the parties split. The Democrats were proslavery and so the south, the Republicans were anti-slavery and so the north. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican President. Even though the first half of the 1900s the Democrats were the prosegregation anti-equal rights party, it wasn't until the 1950s and 60s that they changed, now of course they try to pin those things on Republicans.
The first two political parties are the Federalists led by Alexander Hamilton and the Democratic-Republicans led Thomas Jefferson. The Federalists supported a strong central goverment and creation of national bank. The Democratic-Republicans supported a weak national government that left the states to make major decisions.

Republican (they were actually democrats, but when political parties were first starting, democrats were called republicans and republicans were called federalists)...sorry if i confused you, but just say republican and you will be fine. ha
The longevity of the Republican and Democrat parties is because they are loose alliances of small parties within the parties that unite together come election time
The question is backward: Jefferson's Democratic-Republican Party (formerly called the Anti-Federalists) split into the National Republican Party and the Democratic Party after the contested Presidential election of 1824.
