The farmers in America were very fond of forming confederations, and this was mainly due to safety reasons. At the beginning it was the threat of the Native Americans since they were not in nice relations with most of them. As the time was passing, it was the Spanish that were the biggest danger, and from whom the colonies needed mutual support, and as the time was progressing it was their motherland, Britain, from which they needed to protect themselves and win over in order to gain independence.
The Political party that formed to oppose Jackson was named the "Whig Party".
Party founders chose the "Whig" name to echo the American Whigs of the 18th century who fought for independence. Whigs stood for protective tariffs, national banking, and federal aid for internal improvements.
