In the meantime, the wing opposing Jackson under Quincy Adams and John C. Calhoun first adopted the National Republican in 1832 and abandoned it altogether two years later for the English name, Whig, hoping to hang Jackson with the unpopular name of Tory - the pro-British party during the American Revolution.
