The Republican Party.
It was originally more progressive and anti-slavery (for example, Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican President). Over time, the Democratic Party became the more progressive party as 1) blacks shifted away from the Republican Party following the failure of Reconstruction in the South and 2) the Republican party aligned itself more with big business in later years.
England was held in high regard by the people living in its colonies in this period because it provided the colonies with financial help if needed, military assistance, and a market for the goods.
Whenever some of the colonies had troubles with finances, the motherland England was the one to help and assist, and get it back on track. Also England was always providing military assistance for its colonies which made the people feel much more secure. Another great benefit from England was that it was a big market and it was opening lots of other markets for the products from the colonies, thus making them wealthier and stronger.
