	===Founding and early years (1828–1865)===		===Founding and early years (1828–1865)===
			The Democratic Party was founded in 1828, with ideals similar to those of the old Democratic–Republican Party of [[Thomas Jefferson]]. The early Democrats were spearheaded by a coalition of slave-owning Southern planters and a segment of the Northern bourgeoisie.<ref name="GSE">{{Citation\|author=D. S. Asanov\|year=1972\|chapter=Democratic Party\|chapter-url=https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Democratic+Party\|title=[[Great Soviet Encyclopedia]] (3rd ed.)\|volume=8\|page=76-77\|city=Moscow\|pdf=https://ia804601.us.archive.org/2/items/B-001-032-507-748-ALL/БСЭ_3изд_т08_517.pdf\|trans-title=Boljšaja sovjetskaja enciklopjedija\|trans-lang=Russian}}</ref>

			In 1861, the [[Statesian Civil War]] started when the most reactionary Southern Democrats declared the [[Confederate States of America (1861–1865)\|Confederate States of America]] and rebelled against the Union.<ref name="GSE" /> The Confederacy was defeated by the Union under the Republican [[Abraham Lincoln]].

	===Post-Civil War to end of WW2 (1865–1945)===		===Post-Civil War to end of WW2 (1865–1945)===
			After the Civil War was over, with the contradiction of chattel slavery resolved, the differences between the Democratic and Republican Parties began to blur. Both had become big tent parties of the large capitalists, though the Democrats tried to maintain a voter base of various social strata.<ref name="GSE" />
