Epublican Parties In The 1800s

The Great Awakening was a resurgence of religious ideals, and an emergence in religious ideals. The concept of pieism caused a renewal in Christian beliefs, and an enthusiasm for religion that had faded over the previous century. The Great Awakening inspired a separation between the old lights, or the followers of the old ways, and the new lights, the practitioners of the new, revamped, christianity, which sired a great need for more educated men in the new light, or revivalist, faction. This great need caused the formation of several new universities

During the 19th century there was the Second Great Awakening. This was Christian revival movement that started in the year 1790 and gained momentum in 1800. It taught the Arminian theology that everyone could be saved through religious revivals. It gained millions of new members and was even responsible for many new denominations. It was an important event, that effects even today’s society in many ways.

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.

The Second party is a term of periodization between 1828 to 1854. One of the two parties were called The National Republicans, led by Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, and Webster. They believed that the government should be used to advance social and cultural improvements. As well as improve the standards of life in American communities. Most of the Republicans we known as the Whigs, their supporters mostly came from the northeast. The second party was known as the Democratic Republicans commonly known as the Democrats, led by Andrew Jackson. He believed that it was in their best interest of the common man. He also believed that the Whigs were threatening their economic, social, and cultural freedoms. His supporters rotted in the west and south

Salko Mehmedovic - This paper was about how the Whig Party raised and fell. This paper also includes the rise of the Republican Party. - My theory is that the Whigs dissolved, because they didn’t want to focus on the issue of slavery.

I found the section over "Party Systems" quite interesting because I am discussing the Democrats and the Whigs in the 1830's in my history class. I find the Whig Party interesting because of its contrasting views from the Jacksonian Democratic party. Both of these parties played crucial roles in the expansion of the United States. It didn't surprise me that the Whigs were made up of people from the Northeast and mercantile groups since the party pushed for industrialization and modernization. This contrasted greatly from the Democrats who were small farmers that were eager to find new land and expand. Yet, when the Whigs gained control of the office the party "disintegrated under the strain" (Pg. 547). Overall, I find this period in history

This religious revival made its way all over America, with this was a fight with religious and political groups during this time. Two major names that played a role in this awakening are, Jonathan Edwards and George Whitfield. Because of this awakening, America realizes that they control the power of religion, and because of this different churches are created, such as the Methodist, Baptist, and the Presbyterians. Also the old light vs. the new lights, they new lights believed in the Great Awakening and the old believed the new ways were unnecessary. All this had a change not only in culture but also ties into the change in society and

In conclusion, the American populace gained a sense of national identity and united under the motive of independence after fighting a revolutionary war, in order to break free from Great Britain. It was following 1790 that the United States started seeing the formation of political parties. Most notably, the Federalist party lead by Hamilton, and the Democratic-Republican party led by Jefferson became prominent in American

After the war, the government had started to raise taxes, farming equipment became more costly and their was a lot of unemployment, low wages, bad working conditions, etc. A group known as the United Farmers had established the Progressives party in 1920. The progressives party had a lot of support from farmers and labor movements, thus allowing it to become the official opposition in the 1921 election. This was good news for Edward as he was given a voice just like other farmers. He could now receive more money for the work he does. Alice was also happy upon hearing the news because she had a chance to earn more money for the work she did, so that she can help support her family and keep the family business running. Theo was also grateful

Throughout the federalist era, there existed a strong central government that sticked to the constitution. In the federalists time, there also came into play the role of other political parties. Eventually, there were two political parties in total, the federalist and the democratic republicans. The democratic republicans were led by thomas jefferson, and believed that the people should be the one with the political power, they also opposed a national bank because they thought that it would be a good source for the rich. On the other hand the federalist led by hamilton, favored a more loose interpretation of the constitution, and they did support the idea of a national bank, because they believed that if they tax poeple the money would end

Thomas Jefferson was elected the President of the United States of America in 1800 to become just the country's third president and was a two-term president through the year 1809 (Schultz. 2010). The first show of support for the Democratic-Republican

The federalists were the original political party of the United States with the development of the constitution. As with any political party they have their precancerous and wishes on societal impacts, they have their values. The values of the federalist party, as implied by their name was to have a strong centralized federal government, and with that they had three branches to divide the power. The federalists helped to shape the executive, judicial and legislative branches of the government through ways such as influence, power and regulation. The executive branch has been heavily influenced by the federalist party due to the fact that the executive is the face, or the most recognized figure of a strong central government they influenced

The Know-Nothing Party started on the east coast in 1854. This party was made up of people who wanted to reserve "political office for native- born Americans" also of those who were anti- Catholic (Foner, 490). When people of this organization were asked about it they had to respond with "I know nothing" that's how it got it's name (Foner 490). Many immigrants were losing their jobs because of this party.

During the early decades of the 1800s politics changed tremendously. The politics of the United States were becoming more and more geared toward the common man, (Shultz, n.d.). There were changes in who would have the right to vote and there was a development of a new two party system. The issues of the nation were now decided by more of the population and therefore it became increasingly important for the candidates to speak to the people of the nation about where they stood on the issues.

In eighteenth century America republicanism was established, due in part to the desire of the founding fathers to stay away from a monarchy or tyrannical rule. To prevent this kind of rule, layers of government were created to limit the powers of any one government office. The government was divided into three separate branches, the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. A system of checks and balances was put into place to make sure that no one branch could have complete rule over the country.
