Only citation is 2008 editorial by Nicolas Kristof that was written with the intent of having Liberals donate more.
From your article (yes, I did actually read it):
“We found that while both Republicans and Democrats tend to equally value justice and caring for the vulnerable, Republicans place a much higher value on issues of purity and respect for authority,” said Karen Page Winterich, study co-author and assistant professor of marketing at Pennsylvania State University. “Given these differences, Republicans are more inclined to donate to a charity when these values of purity and respect are met, whereas Democrats are more inclined to donate when the emphasis is purely on equality or protection rather than respect or purity.”

Gee --you left out Tort reform and cross state border competition for Insurance companies.
But you would rather let the tort attorneys like your man Edwards continue to make millions while the government is now planning --to use our tax money to give guaranteed profits to Insurance company.
Makes sense---R-E-D-I-S-T-R-I-B-T-I-O-N- from the middle class.

Nearly every Democrat voted against it.
Yesterday Via
On this day in 1865, the 13th Amendment — abolishing slavery — became part of the Constitution — when ratified by three-quarters of the states.
Despite protests from the Democrats, the Republican Party made banning slavery part of its national platform in 1864. Senator Lyman Trumbull (R-IL) wrote the final version of the text, combining the proposed wordings of several other Republican congressmen.
All Republicans in Congress voted for the 13th Amendment, while nearly all Democrats voted against it. So strongly did President Abraham Lincoln (R-IL) support the 13th Amendment, he signed the document, though presidential approval is not part of the amendment process.
Yes, outlawing slavery was a Republican achievement

The only resemblance today's political parties has to those from 1865 are the names. The philosophies could not be further apart on both sides of the aisle.

IMO ... neither side of the aisle.
Both parties in 1865 would be considered ultra-Conservative, racist and no "Liberal" concerns by any modern political standard.
Progressive ideas, as a viable political platform, were another 30 years away and then by the Republican Party, although Wm Jennings Bryan was a populist of sort and started the Democratic party down the path to where it is today.
The Democratic Party was splintered and in shambles after the presidency of Andrew jackson and did not really coalesce again until the late 1800's. The Democrats never really gained much traction as a political force until The Great Depression although the Republican split in 1912 set the foundation for Democratic part becoming the party of Labor and eventually in the 1930's as the party of social liberalism and government's participation in a mixed economy.
Therefore, I think the earliest time period in which your assertion applies is the 1890's but a stronger assertion is the 1930's with a complete switcheroo by the 1960's.
I agree overall with your point but no party (of any significance) had modern political concerns in 1865.

Democrat = tolerance ????
Look for the Union Label

Janet Vrotos is a hater with vitriol towards one particular group that is particularly nasty, unseemly and inappropriate.
Three characteristics of Ms. Vrotos should be pointed out, all of which you may not find to be surprising, given the current administration’s apparent war on veterans and retirees.
She is a Democrat, a Union Leader and she lives in the liberal bastion of Massachusetts. While Democrats are the incessant promoters of tolerance in all things diverse or non-traditional, they sometimes fall short when the same considerations they demand of others are placed upon them.
