Since the 1830s, the Democratic Party and the Whig Party had been the two main political parties in the United States. Andrew Jackson was elected President in 1828 and created the Democratic Party. A growing movement of opposition to Jackson coalesced into a new political party - the Whigs. Democrats favoured States’ rights and opposed federal government intervention. By contrast, Whigs advocated for fast economic growth and endorsed federal government intervention in the economy.
