Yes, during the era of slavery in the United States, particularly in the decades leading up to the Civil War (roughly 1830s–1860s), the Southern states were dominated by the Democratic Party

Republicans were anti slavery before the Democrats thought it was cool

Radical Republicans were a powerful and influential faction of the Republican Party that existed from the mid-1850s through the end of the Reconstruction Era (1877). They were known for their uncompromising opposition to slavery, their demand for immediate emancipation, and their push for equal civil rights for Black Americans during and after the Civil War.

How was Reconstruction ended? The Democrats were election deniers back in 1876.

The Compromise of 1877 was an informal agreement between southern Democrats and allies of the Republican Rutherford Hayes to settle the result of the 1876 presidential election and marked the end of the Reconstruction era.

Immediately after the presidential election of 1876, it became clear that the outcome of the race hinged largely on disputed returns from Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina—the only three states in the South with Reconstruction-era Republican governments still in power. As a bipartisan congressional commission debated over the outcome early in 1877, allies of the Republican Party candidate Rutherford Hayes met in secret with moderate southern Democrats in order to negotiate acceptance of Hayes’ election.

The Democrats agreed not to block Hayes’ victory on the condition that Republicans withdraw all federal troops from the South, thus consolidating Democratic control over the region. As a result of the so-called Compromise of 1877 (or Compromise of 1876), Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina became Democratic once again, effectively bringing an end to the Reconstruction era.

Yes, after Republicans eradicated slavery in the US, and later eradicated Jim Crow laws in Democrat states that barred many blacks from voting, the states switched from Democrat to Republican.

From your link: "From 1844 onward the philosophy of both parties never wavered, each concentrating on convincing southerners that they were the stronger slavery supporter. "
