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:Repubus.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]]. |
