Republicans and Democrats of today bear little resemblance to their predecessors. From the time of Lincoln until the 1930s, Republicans were the great reformers who believe in active government whereas Democrats with their base support in the South tried to limit the federal reach. This all changed in the Depression with the election of Franklin Roosevelt, his building of a new Democratic coalition, and the Republican party's swing toward localism. This new alignment stayed fairly stable until the 1960s when the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War, and a rise of social issues shifted the playing field. The Republican party has moved further right; Democrat activists further left.
