APUSH Out of Many Chapter 14 notes

There were some people who didn't agree with everything that the Federalist Party believed. This new party was known as the Democratic Republicans. This party was made up of farmers, small businessmen, and laborers. The Democratic Republicans weren't backed by as much money, and were considerably poorer than the Federalists. The south and west parts of the United States were most influenced by the Democratic Republicans because that is were the majority of the farming population was

When the California Gold Rush took off almost everyone wanted to try their luck in California, and the first thing they had to do is get there. If you on the eastern side of the United State or from European you had two choices to get to California they were the sea or land route, but if you were on the Pacific Ocean coast you direct sea route to there. The land route took you across the great United State through some of its most extremes weather and terrain, and traveler had survived the untamed west on their own and what they bring. Also, they had to struggle against diseases outbreaks such as Cholera which the text said, “As many as 1500 travelers died from Cholera along the Overland Trail in 1849” (Gillon, 298). The most popular route

There were many causes of the incredible political changes during 1815-1840’s, but the main cause was economic growth. The War of 1812 caused men like Henry Clay and John Calhoun to find

     The Republicans and Democrats didn’t really have strong opposing beliefs during this period. The Republicans supported high tariffs and sound money. The Democrats supported lower tariffs and expanded currency. Both rural and urban classes supported each party. They worked with spoils and local issues. Both

In the article “The Klondike Gold Rush,” it explains how miners from all across the land traveled to get to the gold rush. The two main paths to travel were by boat or by trail, the harder of the two was the trail because it was long and required going up a steep mountain. The article tells the reader of how people would be carrying hundreds of pounds going up the mountain, but then dropping most of their items on the side of the trail because they couldn't carry the weight. The point of view in this article gave us the idea that the journey was long and laborious.

The Jacksonian Democratic Party and the Whig Party each, exemplified different beliefs on the role of the federal government in the economy and towards westward expansion in the 1830s and 1840s. However, the Jacksonian, laissez faire supporting Democrats and the economic nationalistic Whig party shared almost no beliefs except for the removal of American Indians in the areas their supporters wished to settle. The lack of similarities is because the Whigs formed their own party to oppose President Jackson’s strong-armed leadership style and policies which earned him the nickname “King Andrew.” The Jacksonian Democratic Party evolved out of the Democratic-Republican Party in the early 1800s, the core of its membership was composed of farmers, immigrants, and white Southerners. The Whigs formed in 1834 and lasted for 20 years, they were the major political party that opposed Andrew Jackson. The Whigs were created based upon the Federalist beliefs in a strong federal government and adopted many Federalist and National Republican policy ideas, including federal funding for internal improvements, a central bank, and high tariffs to protect the growth of manufacturing enterprises. Overall, the Jacksonian Democratic agrarian Party and the industrialization supporting Whig Party had different beliefs toward the role of the federal government in the economy and towards westward expansion.

Watson surmises that with this threat, politically active citizens were ripe for a political party system that would protect their independence and liberty. Enter Andrew Jackson, who appealed to those voters who felt threatened by the changing economic picture. Jackson and his supporters believed that the Republican/Whig political party represented an elitist, aristocratic government that would put the ever expanding economy and their own profit above the liberty and good of the majority and it was the good of the majority that Jackson would rely on with great success. He believed that the preservation of the Republic depended on the majority and the majority was represented by independent farmers, who were profiting the least from the Market Revolution. Believing that any government based on aristocracy could become corrupt, he felt that that the best way was to treat all of the citizens alike and turn the rule of the country over to the majority. This majority, with the fiery General Andrew Jackson as their leader, would create the Democratic Party.

- Voters liked the idea of Jacksonian emotions of the Whig Party - Whigs rose, because of their ideological devotion to the republican principle of self-government and their attack against executive tyranny. - The Whigs arose in the second Party system. -

A good majority of it’s patrons were from the coastal and urban areas, whilst Jacksonian Democrats voters mainly came from rural and agrarian societies; generally, more economically developed areas would vote Whig.

Despite having a strong presence in America, the Whig Party’s influence on the government and economy never surpassed the impact of the Democratic Party. Throughout most of the presidencies during the 19th century, the Democrats dominated the campaign. The Democrats executed many of their aspirations leaving a long-lasting

Another way to see the American Whig Party is where they drew their popular support. The Whigs drew their popular support from men who benefited from the ongoing transformation of the American market and class relations (Kim, 1979). The Democrats were the complete opposite to the previous statement. What is interesting about the elections of 1836 and 1840 is the new voters that were mobilized by the Whigs. The Whigs captured three-fifths of the 900,000 new voters in these two elections (Kim, 1979). So, how did the Whig Party rose? The rise of the Whigs began within their ideological devotion to the republican principle of self-government and their attack against executive tyranny. The Whigs rose in an era called the “Second Party System”. The

There was a economic depression 1890’s that changed political alignments and attitudes. A sudden interest in partisan politics was shown by White American male voters. Also, many Southern states were disenfranchising Black men. Democrats emphasized decentralized power located in the states. The Republicans however, favored a more active national government. Many voters generally stayed loyal pre-Civil War beliefs, this caused stalemating national government. It was because of this that Northern states went Republican and Southern states went Democratic. The majority of governmental action and reform occurred at the state and local

The Democratic party was also known as the “Jacksonians”(Lecture 10) which would begin in 1828 with Jackson's presidential victory.(Give Me Liberty pg 377) Led by Henry Clay; the Whigs would later initiate as a party to oppose the Democrats and their beliefs.(Lecture 10) The reason for the opposition of both parties was that they had different ideas; but the main reason was that the creation of the Whig party was started by a group of people which initially started with intentions to oppose Andrew Jackson’s view in the Democratic party. The Whigs disapproved of Jackson's views even more after after the attack on the national bank, and the assumption that he vetoed something for his own personal choice rather than it being unconstitutional .(Lecture 10 + GVL pg 389) Jackson believed that “hard money” should have been the real form of currency which was also opposed by the

During the 1830’s and 1840’s, the Democratic Party and the Whig Party were commonly opposed to each other in their political agenda. The Whig Party was originally formed in contention to the Democratic Party and its policies. In order to promote manufacturing in America, the Whigs favored banking and economic protectionism, while the Democratic Party was in support for an agrarian republic run by the common man. The views and aspirations for the country differ, yet compare regarding subjects that greatly affected the United States such as western expansion and the role of the federal government in the economy.
