Thedonkey symbol of the Democratic party dates back to Andrew Jackson, because people called him the slang word for donkey. It was not until a cartoonist drew the donkey symbol for

Harper's Weekly(a popular magazine)in 1870 that the term and image really took hold. In most of the images, the donkey's legs are red, it's top half blue with stars, to illustrate the US Flag.
