yes they were
The Democratic-Republican Party was originally created by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. It was founded in response to opposition to the Federalist Party.
The Whigs became the Liberals which eventually merged with the SDP to become the modern Liberal Democrats
The Republican party originally started out as a party which was against slavery (Abraham Lincoln was a Republican) and that is really the only main thing that Republicans have to do with racism. Claiming that the Republican Party is racist is unsubstantiated by facts (the current head of the Republican Party, Michael Steele is black). Other than their initial founding as an anti-slavery party, race has little to do with the Republican Party.
