I don't understand your question. Are you asking when the Dems and Republicans were opposing each other in elections? Well, at one time, the Democrats and Republicans were in the SAME party. How about that shit!

The Democratic Party traces its origins to the Democratic-Republican Party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and other influential opponents of the Federalists in 1792. Since the division of the Republican Party in the election of 1912, it has consistently positioned itself to the left of the Republican Party in economic as well as social matters.

However, the modern Republican Party only dates back as far as Lincoln.

Founded in 1854 by anti-slavery expansion activists and modernizers, the Republican Party rose to prominence with the election of Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president.
