	Barnburners :: The Encyclopedia of New York State :: Syracuse University Press
		Use of the term Barnburners suggested its members' alleged willingness to burn down the barn (the party) to rid it of its rats (its enemies).
		Unlike their party opponents, the Hunkers, the Barnburners favored balanced budgets and hard money, and opposed state funding for canal and road construction, a national bank, and the liberal speculative activities of state banks.
		In 1848 the Barnburners joined with antislavery Whigs to form the national Free Soil Party, with Martin Van Buren as its presidential candidate; they opposed the Democrats and Whigs, each of which, Barnburners argued, favored the expansion of slavery.

		The name derives from the fabled Dutchman who burned his barn to rid it of rats; by implication, the Barnburners would destroy corporations and public works to do away with the abuses they foster.
		Opposed to the extension of slavery, the Barnburners seceded from the Democratic state organization when the Hunkers captured the state convention at Syracuse in 1847.
		Largely because of this Democratic split, the Whig candidate, Zachary Taylor, defeated the regular Democrat, Lewis Cass.
