Elections of 1828 and 1800
George Washington, the New Nation's first president, wanted unification in his country. Unfortunately, as we have seen, it does not turn out to be the way he wants. There were many causes for this separation but two elections, the Election of 1800 and the Election of 1828, stand out and help this separation and put forth in the minds of the American people the question of "liberty, fraternity, and equality"? These "revolutionary" elections are different but they have also changed society. These elections are "revolutionary" in many ways. From looking at revolutions such as the French Revolution, we see that people are pleased and have gotten what they want. The Americans from choosing the presidents show that they got what they want. Another way is that the lead up to the result was intense. The campaigns and the elections themselves created increase in tensions and havoc. People were arguing and disputing and therefore people were not uniting to solve the problem but breaking apart like the French Revolution. The people did their best to win in the political field by manipulating the American people into voting for them and also hoping the best for American democracy. The French also did their best to win on the battle field by
This was because of the French Revolution that feared many people in New England. Burns says here that the two political parties have created problems in the American society and therefore this is not good for the New Nation. Therefore even though there was this doubt, the Southerners knew that it would be a great step to resolution. getting more and more people so eventually they would get their freedom. "Powerful political currents were loose in American, and the two men were in the middle of the turbulence" (The Deadlock of Democracy, 27). Here we see from giving more rights to the white men and causing distinctions between the black men and the Native Americans. Since the campaign started early, like 1824, for the Jacksonians, it gave them an edge towards the Adamses. Foreign affairs also caused more separation such as the French Revolution, which was sided by the Republicans but the Federalists sided with the British cause of monarchy. We see that geographical discriminations were a major cause already because of the Election of 1800. We see that the Native Americans are still suffering from the segregation. There are many different ways that we can prove how they are revolutionary and how they help try to achieve democracy for their people. To the Southerners and the Westerners, Jackson was for slavery but against the Native Americans. As we know that many of Founding Fathers did not want parties because it was selfish and divided the country up but as we also see that it was inexorable. In this Hamilton's program caused havoc in the Congress and therefore we see the first division of parties. New England was sharply divided by politics and their society's main authority was the clergymen.
