Hey, that's a great essay prompt.  It often happens that when threatened by some threat to our way of life in a democracy, we respond in very undemocratic ways.  During the McCarthy years, people's privacy was invaded as accusations about communists and communist sympathizers were aimed at all sorts of people.  Many people in the Hollywood film industry were targeted during that time, for instance.  But defenders of freedom (including film and television people) fought back against that.  We must always adhere to our primary aims as a society -- the rights and liberties of each individual.  We don't want to get into "witch hunts" where we suspect our neighbors of evil for no good reason.

Speaking of "witch hunts," the playwright Arthur Miller wrote a really powerful play in 1953, during the Cold War, which focused on the Salem witch trials. He was making the point that what was happening in the McCarthy era (hunting for communists) was another manifestation of the witch-burning craze that had happened at a previous time in history.

How did the panic of 1819 create conflict between members of the Democratic Republican party?​
antiseptic1488 [7]

The  1819 Panic was the first financial crisis in the U.S which brought about a conflict between the members of the Democratic-Republican party. This was because the Northern industrialist wanted high tariffs compared to the southern plantation who were not for the idea. The Panic was the first major peacetime financial crisis in the United States that exacerbated tensions within the Republican Party. <em>The Panic further provoked sectional tensions as the northerners advocated for higher tariffs, unlike southerners who rejected their support for the nationalistic economic programs.</em>

Answer: hoped this helped

The Whigs emerged in the 1830s in opposition to President Andrew Jackson, pulling together former members of the National Republican Party, the Anti-Masonic Party, and disaffected Democrats. The Whig Party developed out of opposition to Jackson's policies, including his bank policy. In an effort to break up the Second Bank of the United States, Jackson in 1833 made federal deposits in a number of state banks.
