It depends on the era. Before and during the Civil War the Republican party was the more progressive and liberal of the two major parties, most popular in the North. The Democratic party was the more conservative party that formerly supported slavery. This is not to say the parties are still like this. On the contrary -- by the time LBJ passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the two parties' platforms had almost completely flipped. In Congress, multiple Democrat opponents of the Civil Rights Act switched over to the Republican Party. It was now the Republican party that was the more conservative, opposed social change, held onto tradition and was more popular in the South, while the Democratic Party was now the more liberal, progressive one popular in the North. These days when people tout their party as the one [insert pre-1960s president here] was in, it is mostly in name, not in platform.
All of this has been a VERY brief summary of an extremely complex series of events stretching over 200 years and is still an evolving situation today. In the future the parties could very well swap platforms again! If you wish to know more about the history of parties' political platforms, I'd recommend reading this detailed article:

The Republican party of the 1920's was very respected, although hated by Democrats. Theodore Roosevelt was on of the key presidents from that party during the time period. The republican party then was much more liberal than we know it today. It is also important to remember that America was in a time where prohibition and the effects of WW1 still lingered in the American spot light. Cities began to get larger as people started moving into Urban settings. Legislation then turned to making standards of living better for citizens and the Republican Party had a lot to deal with changing America into the monopoly it would soon be.
Theodore Roosevelt was the Republican candidate for Vice President in 1900 and for President in 1904, and he was the Progressive Party candidate for President in 1912. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the Democratic Party Candidate for Vice President in 1920 and for President in 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944.
