The Impact Of The Golden Age Of Literature

The presidency of George Washington was a difficult pair of terms to follow. John Adams tried to follow the precedent that the first president had set, but the second president only managed to polarize the nation among two parties: the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Although his decisions are today looked at with mixed feelings, at the time John Adams fell into popular disfavor. After his singular term due to the opposition of the Jeffersonian Anti-Federalists and the Hamiltonian Federalists (members of Adams’s own party), there was a power vacancy clearly waiting to be filled which would lead to the spot of the third President of the United States. The first twelve years of the nation and its first two presidents had been marred by stirrings of factionalism and tension. However, the two presidents after Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, would do much to lessen these issues due to educated and intelligent policy-making, in addition to a great deal of fortunate circumstances.

The Election of 1800 was notably to be of the most significant elections in American history of governmental evolvement. It marked once power struggle to a astonishing transfer of power from one party to another in national government; this transfer of power was also accomplished in a non-violent and organized fashion, which marked the evolving maturity of the nation's first system of political parties . The election was a party contest for control of the national government and for determining the direction and management of national policy. This election was the first time both parties used congressional caucuses to nominate candidates for their ballots which was a never heard of occurrence in that day and age. This specific election also made second history in the first, as it was the first presidential election to be decided in the House of Representatives.

The early activity of Andrew Jackson and his election of to the presidency in 1828 led to the new changes in the society and politics of the United States. Answer Jackson is known for:

While some historians have dubbed the period after the War of 1812, an “Era of Good Feelings”, the continuous increase of events such as the Missouri Compromise, strengthened the sectionalism in the country and led to a contradiction in the title given to that time period. Politically, America grew more divided as more parties arose, separating the people by their different opinions on how the government should be run and ultimately, who should become our next president. Economically, there was tension between agriculturalists who continued to sink deeper and deeper in poverty as manufacturers continued to grow affluent, due to economic laws passed by the government which favored their growth. Therefore, while the period was labeled an “Era

During the election of 1824, there were five candidates for the president. The election of 1824 was the fall of the Federalist Party that never would rise to power again. All the candidates were Democratic-Republican, but that didn’t seem to weigh heavily on the outcome of the election of 1824. The two front runners were John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson that would be decided by the House of Representatives because of the Twelve Amendment to the Constitution states the House will decide by majority vote between the two candidates when there is no majority of the electoral votes. As a result of the first ballot in the House of Representatives in voting for a president, John Quincy Adams emerged victorious at the election of 1824.

George Washington was unanimously elected as the first President of United States of America in 1789 and again in 1792. No political parties existed in America during that time. Founding Fathers including George Washington believed that political parties would be harmful for the young America. They envisioned the politics in the young nation to be cooperative and not competitive. By the end of the eighteenth century, however, political parties had become a reality in the form of Federalist Party and Democratic - Republican Party. The two parties differed in a variety of ways but they especially differed in terms of their foreign relations with European powers. Federalists led by Alexander Hamilton wanted to create a stable economy built on trade favoring the wealthy business owners. Democratic Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson, on the other hand, had the interests of poor farmers, and immigrants in their mind. Federalists supported the British against the radical French whereas Republicans preferred to maintain friendly relations with the democratic French against the British. Earlier, in 1794, President George Washington had angered the French leaders when he signed the Jay Treaty with Great Britain in 1794 settling the differences between the two countries. John Adams, a federalist, was elected the second President of the United States of America in 1797. After taking over as President, he sent American envoys to

After serving as the commander of the U.S forces for some lengthy time, Jackson focused his attention into being the American president. Jackson came into the limelight of the American politics when he first took part in president election in the year 1824. Unfortunately, despite Jackson receiving popular vote, he was floored on the basis of the majority vote. John Quincy Adams became the president in that year following the election decision by the House of Representatives. Jackson never quit his quest for presidency, but went on with efforts to add value to his name that could later give him a perfect ground of landing his dream. John’s presidency was marred with a lot of controversies,

Adams vs Jefferson, The Tumultuous Election of 1800, describes the events of the infamous United States Presidential Election of 1800, the election that forever changed the landscape of American politics and reestablished the principles of the American Revolution. The election of 1800 was a battle of two political powerhouses: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. They were two of America’s founding fathers who were once great friends, but were thrown against each other as adversaries with the future of America in their hands.

The election was between James Madison, a Democratic-Republican running for his second term, and Dewitt Clinton, a Federalist. Madison had won the election of 1808 by a landslide, but his support had weakened some during his presidency. Just before being nominated a second time for the election of 1812, President Madison had declared war. His supporters and party wanted to drive the British from Canada and rid West Florida of the Spanish. This war would later become known as the War of 1812. Clinton and the Federalist did not support this war and tried to use this against Madison during the election. They attacked Madison for entering the war to begin with, but at the same time, they also criticized him for not putting much emphasis or energy into the war. They were saying he entered a war unnecessarily, and then fought a very weak war. However, Madison won the election of 1812, showing that the Federalist’s support throughout the United States was dwindling greatly. Madison would become the first wartime

The War of 1812 led to the demise of the Federalist era. The extinction of the Federalist era was followed by an “Era of Good Feelings” where politics and campaigns drastically changed. Political campaigns and elections changed between 1814 and 1840 because of various political views and seemingly radical methods on leading the nation. The “Era of Good Feelings” was during the Monroe presidency between 1816 and 1824.

It is clear that the presidential election in 1820 was vastly different than that of 1824. In 1824, the formation of more evident political parties diversified the national political opinion. In 1820, James Monroe won every electoral vote aside from one. In 1824, Andrew Jackson had 15 more electoral votes than did John Quincy Adams. Despite this, Adams won the presidency through the

From 1815 to 1840, American was graced with an expansion of democracy. With every position comes winners and losers, just as this one. This era caused for an uproar in political controversy and disagreement.

The presidency of Andrew Jackson, 1829 to 1837, was frequently called the Age of the Common Man or the Era of Jacksonian Democracy. It was an era of great growth in population, wealth, and financial productivity. Jackson led the American forces in numerous battles throughout his career, one of the most well-known being the Battle of New Orleans. He used the power of vetoing bills frequently, unlike many other previous presidents. Parties became an important part of the political actions in 1824 to 1844, whether it was in their campaigning efforts or in voter loyalty, which earned the label of “the two-party system.” The one-party system that had once defined James Monroe’s presidency, the Era of Good Feelings, was transformed into a two-party system by Andrew Jackson. The presidency of Andrew Jackson exhibited continuity from the previous era was by maintaining the rivalry between politicians and keeping the precedent of serving only two terms and exhibited change from the previous era by compelling Native Americans to leave their traditional homes and resettle west of Mississippi, the one-party system was changed to a two-party system, and growing federal spending and expenses

The Tariff of 1816 was also in conjunction with Calhoun’s American System because it was created to protect the manufacturing of the U.S. from the British competitors. This Tariff caused division in the Americas between the North and South. It favored the North because it protected their manufacturing, but it heavily taxed the South. John Randolph responded to the passing of the Tariff of 1816 favoring the south. He pleaded his point reinstating that the agriculturalist are the heart and soul of the country and bear the brunt of war and taxes causing the south to remain poor while the manufactures lavish themselves with riches and wealth (Document A). This political debate sparked rivalries which caused the splitting of political parties. This began a new era of political parties known as the Second Party System. In the year of 1820 there was only one political party: The Republicans. By the election of 1824, there were four different factions (Document I). This sparked another major debate of this era: does the state have more power or the central government? John Marshall was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and a

Nathaniel Hawthorne was an American novelist, dark romantic, and short story writer. He was born in 1804 in Salem, Massachusetts, to Nathaniel Hawthorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning.
