"During the 1790s, the first major U.S. parties arose in the form of the Federalist Party, led by Alexander Hamilton, and the Democratic-Republican Party, led by Thomas Jefferson. After 1815, the Democratic-Republicans emerged as the sole major party at the national level but became increasingly polarized [during Madison's last two years]. A >nationalist< wing, led by Henry Clay, favored policies such as the Second Bank of the United States and the implementation of a protective tariff. A second group, the Old Republicans [Jeffersonians], opposed these policies, instead favoring a strict interpretation of the Constitution and a weak federal government." "The Whigs emerged in the 1830s [again, led by Henry Clay and Daniel Webster] in opposition to President Andrew Jackson, pulling together former members of the National Republican Party, the Anti-Masonic Party, and disaffected Democrats. The Whigs had some weak links to the defunct Federalist Party, but the Whig Party was not a direct successor to that party." Yet, they had the old Federalist's ideas. The "Whigs suffered a decisive defeat in the 1852 presidential election partly due to sectional divisions within the party. The Whigs collapsed following the passage of the Kansas–Nebraska Act in 1854, with most Northern Whigs eventually joining the Republican Party and most Southern Whigs joining the American Party and later the Constitutional Union Party. " All of this was stirred up under Madison after 1815, and after he "out-Hamiltons Alexander Hamilton" according to Rep. John Randolph of Virginia during that time. Guess why there's a huge concrete owl in a forest in California just outside San Francisco, where the GOP meets? The owl was the symbol of the Whig Party.
