What was the major political party that developed in the United States in opposition to the Democratic Party of Andrew Jackson? Correct Answer Whig Party

C. The Whig Party developed in opposition to the Democratic Party of Andrew Jackson and was a major force in American politics from 1833 to 1856. Three presidents were members of the Whig Party (William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, and Millard Fillmore). The Anti-Masonic Party was a single-issue party that had some influence from 1828 to 1838; in the 1832 presidential election the Anti-Masonic candidate received 7.8% of the popular vote. The Free-Soil Party was an anti-slavery party that was active in the 1848 and 1852 presidential elections, but by 1854 most of its members had joined the Republican Party. The Republican Party was not founded until 1854, long after the era of Jacksonian democracy. The Know-Nothing Party existed from 1845 to 1860; the big issue for Know-Nothings was the fear of Catholic immigration. This party came apart over the issue of slavery.
