Apush Chapter 23 Summary

In June 1744, the Iroquois and representatives from Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania met in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to resolve conflicts and negotiate on agreements. These meetings were called the Covenant Chain.

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

5.5. Spain watched Portugal’s success with exploration and slaving with envy and wanted a piece of the pie.

The South on the other hand, supported Thomas Jefferson and his democratic-republican views. Thomas Jefferson's popularity rose with many old federalists who were artisans and urban workers. Thomas Jefferson planned to change the country by having independent Yeoman farmers.

     Hayes won the disputed election. Four states submitted irregular returns. It was disputed if the Republican president of the Senate or the Democratic Speaker of the House should count them. It was decided that an electoral commission made up of fifteen men. There were eight Republicans and seven Democrats, so the Republicans won. The Democrats would only accept this with conditions, one of which was to remove troops from the south.

In 1860 Abraham Lincoln was elected President. He won the presidential votes of the Republican Party. Lincoln ran against Stephen Douglas. In one of their campaigns in Hartford, Connecticut, Lincoln spoke on the Democratic bushwhacking (Doc F). Part of their campaign were to talk about the slavery. Though Lincoln, a republican, and Douglas, a democratic, their views on slavery were entirely different. Lincoln argued against the spread of slavery while Douglas argued that each territory should have the right

America, an established nation, was not only growing in land mass, population, and innovations rapidly, but was establishing a reputation in the world. The Constitution was still in effect, holding the nation together and giving it boundaries to abide by. However, slavery was becoming a major issue that was starting to divide the nation. Much of the North was against slavery completely, whereas much of the South was a strong supporter of slavery. During the early 1800’s, there were many presidential elections with all the candidates looking to fill the roles of their predecessors, George Washington and John Adams. All of the candidates looked to leave a positive, lasting impact on the growth and development of the United States. There were multiple candidates for each election, all with varying views on government and different issues to address during each election. The elections of 1852, 1856, 1860, and 1864 were all significant elections in the molding of the United States.

Franklin Pierce was the fourteenth president of the United States and a Northern Democrat. However Pierce was not chosen because of his wish to support free labour he was chosen a

Despite the fact the founding fathers advised contrary to the establishment of political factions as the Constitution withstood the ratification process, a rift amongst men in President George Washington’s cabinet instituted the move toward the conception of political party. During the time period between 1791 and 1833, a two-party system had begun that demonstrated the philosophy of the Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. Although these two political groups were unyielding in their original ideas and beliefs, both had to change a few of their initial standpoints on numerous topics as they dealt with the truth of the government.

In the Election of 1848, Martin Van Buren ran his campaign on abolitionism and as the Free Soil Parties candidate. Lewis Cass, a Democrat, ran on the idea of compromise within the colonies and really strived to get an equal balance between both the North and the South. But in the end, a Southerner who ran under the Whig party, Zachary Taylor, ended up winning the election. This was one of the first elections with the organized Free Soil party and was an important piece in why the two party system would eventually crash and eventually lead to the Union falling apart in 1861.

Another main issue concerning the parties and their different views was centered on domestic economic policies; the creation and sustainment of the National Bank. Federalists were in favor of the National Bank because they believed the nation would thrive off of business, commerce and industry. Although the Constitution did not state within itself the creation of a national banking system, Federalists often loosely interpreted the Constitution. Democratic-Republicans, on the other hand, were strongly opposed to the creation of the National Bank, fearing that it placed too much control in the hands of the federal government. Democratic-Republicans had a strict interpretation of the Constitution, meaning that if the Constitution did not explicitly authorize something to the federal government, then it was reserved to the states. Because of Federalist’s ideals that the nation would prosper off of industry, they gained much support from bankers, merchants, manufacturers, and the elite. Their support system was based in the North, due to the North’s growing industrial economy because of their bitter climate, ports, and abundance of natural resources. However, the Democratic-Republicans gained much of the South’s vote because of their support in farmers and planters. Their belief in state’s rights, individualism, neutrality and preference of an agricultural society as opposed to an industrial society won them support in the south. With their

Victory was won in the Electoral College for Lincoln. This election firmly established the Republicans who held presidency for 60 of the next 100 years. He helped form the new Republican Party, drawing on remnants of the old Whig, Free Soil, Liberty and Democratic parties.

Rutherford Birchard Hayes became the 19th President of the United States in1877-1881. Rutherford B. Hayes took office in March 1877 two days later; Hayes had another inaugurated in a public ceremony. He saw the overcome of Reconstruction, the efforts that led to the Civil service reform. “Rutherford bought to the Executive Mansion dignity, honesty, and moderate reform.’’(Hayes) In 1876 two people running for President Rutherford B. Hayes a Republican and Samuel J. Tilden a Democrat, as the first ballot came back it indicated that Tilden was victory. Tilden won the popular vote with 4,284,020 and had Hayes 4,036,572. Tilden had 184 electoral votes these votes decided who will become the President. Hayes only 165 electoral votes for him, he

The reasoning for the appointment of a special presidential electoral commission in 1877 is that Humdrum Hayes was running against Samuel J. Tilden. Tilden got 184 electoral votes when he needed 185. He had also polled 247,448 more popular votes than Hayes. Both parties set off to send “visiting statesmen” to the three still-contested states known as Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina. As weeks drifted by the constitution specifies that the electoral returns from the states would be sent to congress, and in the House and Senate they will be opened. If it were to be counted by the president of the Senate, the Republicans would be selected. If it were to be counted by the Speaker if the House, the democratic side would be chosen. The agreement
