The Jacksonian years and the decades that followed were as significant for nonpolitical developments as for the Jacksonian political upheavals discussed above.

Its origin lay in the principles of local self-government and repugnance to social and political aristocracy established as cardinal tenets of American colonial democracy, which by the War of Independence, which was essentially a democratic movement, became the basis of the political institutions of the nation.
The evils of lax government, both central and state, under the Confederation caused, however, a marked anti-democratic reaction, and this united with the temperamental conservatism of the framers of the constitution of 1787 in the shaping of that conservative instrument.
It should be borne in mind, however, that the Dernocratrc party of Jackson was not,strictly identical with the Democratic-Republican party of Jefferson,and some writers date back the origin of the present Democratic party only to 1828-1829.

 Origins of the American Civil War   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
With the emergence of the United States Republican Party as the nation's first major sectional political party, by the mid-1850, politics became the stage on which sectional conflict over the expansion of slavery in the West was played out.
It is thus interesting to note that in the 1830s and 1840s, the rise of the anti-slavery movement coincided with the height of Jacksonian democracy, feeding on the same "anti-aristocratic" and egalitarian ethos.
But between 1854 and 1860, radicals in the party fought against the idea of "non-extension" and fought to keep the issue of slavery in the West—with which they were able to mobilize a great deal of popular support—at the focal point of political discourse.

Jacksonian chairs of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are the despair of high-minded people everywhere, as they hold up adhesion to the Kyoto Protocol, starve the un and the imf, cut foreign aid, and ban the use of U.S. funds for population control programs abroad.
Jacksonian America is a folk community with a strong sense of common values and common destiny; though periodically led by intellectually brilliant men—like Andrew Jackson himself—it is neither an ideology nor a self-conscious movement with a clear historical direction or political table of organization.
Jacksonians believe that the political and moral instincts of the American people are sound and can be trusted, and that the simpler and more direct the process of government is, the better will be the results.

Created in New York State, the Antimasonic party began when Western New Yorkers refused to vote for candidates who were Freemasons in local contests in the spring of 1827; Antimasons ran for statewide offices in the fall of that year, astounding both National Republicans and Democrats with their electoral success.
He argues that the Antimasonic party “served to fill a particular kind of political voidÂ….for various reasons where the contest for the presidency did not stimulate the formation of balanced parties oriented toward the presidential candidates, the Antimasons flourished.” Antimasons are barely distinguishable from National Republicans on most issues, in both state and national contests.
McCarthy wrote that the Antimasonic party’s chief importance in American political history is its role in providing the “first solid base for the Whig movement.” The Greely-Weed-Seward (or antislavery Antimasons) became the “conscience Whigs,” later to become the radical core of the Republican party.
