1828 CE to 1839 CE

The American political stage is set, after the First Party System of Federalists and Republicans withers away in the 1820s, for the emergence of a new party system based on well organized local parties that appeal for the votes of (almost) all adult white men.

The former Jeffersonian (Democratic-Republican) party splits into factions.

They split over the choice of a successor to President James Monroe, and the party faction that supports many of the old Jeffersonian principles, led by Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, becomes the Democratic Party.
