47. The Republican Party that elected Teddy Roosevelt president

was progressive overall. The party of Lincoln was the one the newly freed black slaves flocked to.

After Teddy's terms as President the Republican party didn't nominate him again, which is when he tried the third party route. He was McKinley's VP and became president when McKinley was assassinated.

Dems were conservative, especially in the South, until LBJ turned out to not be the conservative he'd played in the Senate once he got power to act.
