We got more active in conflicts and defended our country and its people mainly due to agrarianism (You'll probably learn about that in US History in HS), which was the belief Thomas Jefferson had that if people owned land, they would fight for this country.

On the other hand, the Democratic party believes in investing in renewable resources, such as wind, solar and water as the main means to obtain energy. They also defend the protection of natural areas from exploitation caused by the oil and natural gas industries.
I think the Democratic party has views that address climate change and environmental destruction in a more effective way.
