The Democratic Party began in the 1820s under Andrew Jackson, promoting states’ rights and appealing to rural voters. In the 19th century, it was linked to the South and opposed many Republican-led reforms. By the 20th century, leaders like FDR and LBJ shifted it toward progressive policies, supporting civil rights and social welfare. Today, it backs social justice, healthcare expansion, and environmental protection, remaining one of the two major U.S. parties.
