Political Parties

This article delves into the formation and significance of the Whig Party and the Democratic-Republican Party in early American history. The Whig Party, established in 1834 in opposition to Andrew Jackson and the Jacksonians, aimed to combat royal tyranny and support a strong federal government. Conversely, the Democratic-Republican Party, founded in 1792 by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, advocated for strong state governments, lower taxes, and the support of agriculture. Understanding these parties reveals essential aspects of America's political evolution.
