  Sean Wilentz's Rise of American Democracy. - By Fred Siegel - Slate Magazine
It was the Whig Party, which Wilentz accuses of hiding its elitist aims in the faux democratic symbolism of "the log cabin," that was the center of opposition to both slavery and the Mexican War.
The parties have sifted and sorted and resorted their constituencies and thus their issues time and again, so that attempts to read the past directly into the current political framework are bound to be problematic.
The Whig Party, he argues, was "the center of opposition to both slavery and the Mexican War," while the Jacksonians were a party "of strong slaveholding interests." But this is simplified and misleading.

Civil libertarians also often support the Democratic Party because its positions on such issues as civil rights and separation of church and state are more closely aligned to their own than the positions of the Republican Party, and because the Democrats' economic agenda may be more appealing to them than that of the Libertarian Party.

The party refused to espouse a platform, calling instead for simple adherence to the broad foundation of the Constitution, and the Union of the States, and the enforcement of the laws.

An endeavor was made to demonstrate that Jacksonianism represented the continuation of the rule of the Southern slaveholding class in national politics, with modifications traceable to a specific relation of class forces.
Among the specific circumstances were: the divisions within the planters, the growth in specific weight of the small farming petty-bourgeoisie and the industrial proletariat, and the eruption of these two classes to the political scene in the form of a clamorous mass electorate.
As a last defense against the conception of Jacksonianism as a planter power, the historians of the Turner and Beard schools point to the fact that the majority of large planters were for a time supporters of Whig policies against Jackson.
