Best Answer

Many Democrats on the west coast of the United States of America do see the anti-slavery politician Tomas Jefferson who lived long ago as their hero. His party was called the Democratic-Republican Party. They say their party has the same values, and that they shortened the name to Democrat when the Democratic-Republican Party began to work with other Democrats. They often meet with and debate people who call themselves the Republican Party who also are a group of people who say they have Jefferson's values and are like the Democratic-Republican Party.
