The Democratic Party, particularly in the 19th century, was associated with the defense of slavery in the United States, especially in the Southern states. Many Democrats supported the institution of slavery and opposed its abolition. Conversely, the Republican Party, founded in the 1850s, emerged as an anti-slavery party, advocating for the end of slavery and promoting civil rights. This political landscape significantly shifted over time, leading to changes in party ideologies.
