==History==
In the early years of the United States, the [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] [[Republicanism|Democratic-Republican Party]] originated in the early 1790s as an opposition to the [[File:Hamiltonianism.png]] [[Hamiltonianism|Federalist Party of Alexander Hamilton]]. As the country grew, the two parties became more organized, and tension between them grew stronger. The party gained political dominance in the elections of 1800 as Jefferson was elected president and it became the majority in Congress. During his presidency, Jefferson managed to reduce the national debt and government spending, reversing many Federalist policies. One of his most notable achievements is the acquisition of Louisiana from France.
 
After his presidency, Jefferson had many successors for decades, including James Madison, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams. The Federalists collapsed after 1815 due to the dominance of their opposition, bringing upon the Era of Good Feelings, a time characterized by a lack of partisan disputes. During the 1824 election, the party inevitably split up into two factions: one that supported incumbent President Adams, and the other that supported General Andrew Jackson. Backers of Jackson became the Democratic Party, and those who followed Adams eventually became the Whig Party.
 
The [[File:Demcr.png]] [[Jacksonian Democracy|Democratic Party]] became a dominant political power before being overtaken by the [[File:RepubusRepubUS.png]] [[National Liberalism|Republican Party]] and their opposition of slavery in the Civil War. Despite not being directly related to the party, Republicans borrowed Jefferson’s ideals of liberty and equality. Today, traces of Jeffersonian democracy can be found often in American [[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism]] and [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] [[Right-Wing Populism]].
 
==Ideology==
Line 239 ⟶ 245:
*[[File:Fed.png]] [[Federalism]] - While they support representative democracy, they don't give enough power to the states.
*[[File:Jacksonian Democracy.png]] [[Jacksonian Democracy]] - My racist son, chill out please.
*[[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] - "I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country,” our revolution will have been in vain if a Virginia farmer is to be held in hock to a New York stock jobber, who in turn is in hock to a London banker. <s>Ignore the fact that I ran a huge slave plantation and exploited my slaves.</s>
*[[File:Jack.png]] [[Jacobinism]] - "If there were but an Adam and Eve left in every country, and left free, it would be better than as it now is" But why are you kind of left wing???
*[[File:Bonaparte.png]] [[Bonapartism]] - "Although we neither expected, nor wished any act of friendship from Bonaparte, and always detested him as a tyrant, yet he gave employment to much of the force of the nation who was our common enemy."
