Yep. It all revolved around the southern USA. Lincoln left a bad taste in the mouths of the southern states, and drove them to the democrats.
Lyndon B Johnson, 100 years later, is the one who drove southern democrats gradually to the once hated republican party.
After their departure, along with the assassination attempt on Wallace and then the watergate fiasco, both parties were in sort of a flux until Reagan really set the ideological standards that we see today.
It's a lot more recent than most people think. It's not been that long ago you could find democrat conservatives and liberal republicans.
