Explain why the Democratic party separated into two

History

yawa3891 [41]1 year ago
5 0

The Democratic Party arose from a schism within the Democratic-Republican Party, which was founded in the early 1790s by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, due to significant disagreements in ideas on slavery, equality, and the importance of centralized government over the authority of individual states. Thus, the Democratic Party arose from sections that broke away from the original Democratic-Republicans after the 1824 elections and who adhered to Andrew Jackson's views, particularly on slavery and government engagement in all parts of American society. Originally, this party was united around three tenets: slavery, individual rights, and state sovereignty. In essence, they claimed to be the "ordinary man's" party.

However, following a time of good unity and consistent victories against the then opposing party, the Whig Party, disagreements began to arise between Democrat members of the North and those of the South, particularly on the question of slavery and permitting this institution to grow to newly acquired territory. The crisis began in the 1850s, when the question of slavery split the party into Northern and Southern groups. The rift occurred because Democrats from the North were unwilling to negotiate some issues with those from the South. As a result, the War Democrats and the Copperheads formed a coalition. The outcome of this separation was not only the formation of new groupings, particularly those who, while Democrats, did not believe in any kind of slavery, but also the provision of time and space for the Whig Party to restructure and become the Republican Party. This is why Republicans were able to reclaim the presidency with Abraham Lincoln, and why so many of the ideas that Democrats opposed became legislation in the United States.

Thanks,

Eddie

How did the continental system influence subsequent events in Europe and around the world
irina1246 [14]

The Continental System was a decree by the Emperor of France, Napoleon Bonaparte which was made to limit British trade and bankrupt the country.

At his mightiest, Napoleon controlled almost every powerful country in Europe, except for Britain and Russia. He found it difficult to directly attack Britain and instead wanted to bankrupt it.

However, this eventually backfired and left France in a very bad economic conditions and Britain took advantage of this.  

Many smaller countries that France had annexed, took up arms against Napoleon and began to fight. With a weakened economic position, Napoleon eventually lost the Empire.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

In that case, the Court ruled that the 1923 Texas state law was unconstitutional, because it allowed the state Democratic Party to racially discriminate. After the case, most Southern states ended their selectively inclusive white primaries.
