Connecticut #4

While examining the states so far I have been increasingly curious about the switch in the philosophy of the two parties.  The Democrats began their lives as slave supporting, small government advocates and the Republicans were big government supporters of infrastructure improvements and liberal treatment of slaves.  How did that big switch occur and why?  Here is a good article about it.

So it all has to do with business really.  The Republicans have not really changed.  They were always for what helped big business!
