Answer 1

The evolution of American Political parties since the time of George Washington's Presidency is a tangled twisted road.
The modern day Democrats claim lineage to the Democratic-Republicans of Thomas Jefferson's time. In truth the Democratic party was 'killed by The American Civil War and what emerged from the wreckage owes little in ideology to the Democrats supposed roots.
The Republican Party was founded in 1854 forged from a variety of special interest groups and the remnants of the once powerful Whig Party. In the beginning the rivalry was that of anti-slavery abolitionists Republicans against pro-slavery maintain the status quo Democrats.

Ideology aside - - - politics is a power grab and if a person wants a career in politics in America they can join one or the other there are no other options. The chief rivalry is simply that of two people trying to grab a job and lobbing sound grenades besmirching the others character. In modern day America the Republicans have always been adept at calling the Democrats evil. After the (not so) Civil War it was easy to tar Democrats as slave owning traitors, a label that fit till just about the turn of the century. Moving on into the 20th Century The Republicans accused the Democrats of being anti-business and eventually found that Americans bought into the notion that being Liberal, having a progressive outlook, was evil and supposedly conemned by Jesus and thus throughout the 20th and into the 21st it has been convenient to call Democrats at first Socialist and then Communist both of which are being replaced by the simple word Liberal.

Which is truly hysterical escpecially those Republican ads that run during the Presiential elections, the one that states flatly unequiovacally that everything evil & wrong in America since its conception has been caused by Liberals. Actually Liberals founded America, Liberals were opposed to Slavery, and a host of other acts such as abolishing child labor and giving women the right to vote.

Anyhow the main reason for any such rivalry is the naked grab for power.

Answer 2

The Republicans were former Whigs who were dissatisfied over their division over slavery. As a result of the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854, those dissatisfied Whigs split into 3 sectors ; the Northern Whigs who sided with Northern Democrats on certain policies such as popular sovereignity, the Southern Whigs who basically supported the Southern Cemocrats who supported slavery in the states and further territories drawn up by the Compromise of 1850 and lastly the Republicans who formed in 1854 in Wisconsin. These Republicans were an anti slavery party , that is no further extension into the territories eventually choking it off , a centralized government as opposed to states rights of the Southern Democrats and a select few Northern Democrats. '
It was basically the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854 , the Dred Scott decision , the Lincoln- Douglas debates of 1858 and John Brown's raid in Northern Virginia that caused the rivalry and rift of the two parties.

Answer 3

It really started with a split in ideals at the beginning of our country. Hamilton and Adams wanted a large powerful government (Federalist) and Jefferson a small limited government (Republican-Democrat). the democratic party kept the name bu adopted the federalist philosophy. The new republican party formed in 1857 adopted more of Jefferson's ideals.
