In approx. 1932.
From 1860-1932, the Democratic Party represented the Southern States (which were conservative) while the Republican Party represented the Northern States. The Republicans were a mix, some were fairly liberal (or progressive) such as Theodore Roosevelt, others were fairly conservative, such as Calvin Coolidge.
The Great Depression led to power being transferred to the Democratic Party, which became the party of Franklin Roosevelt. Opponents of Roosevelt joined the Republicans. Although Roosevelt kept the Democratic Party's firm support from the South, Southerners would gradually move over to the Republicans.
