America’s “Era of Good Feelings” Comes to an End

The New Nation
Written By Tom Hand

From 1800-1824, the Democratic-Republicans dominated the American political landscape like no party has ever done, making America essentially a one-party country. This period of unity and dominance came to a crashing halt with the bitter Presidential election of 1824.

Tom Hand, creator and publisher of Americana Corner, explores how America was politically united during its founding years, allowing the country to survive its fragile birth and succeed in our great experiment in democracy, and why it still matters today.

Arguably, no presidential election in the history of the United States has ever featured a choice between two such American titans.

During America’s founding era, our country was more politically unified than at any other time in our nation’s history. That is not to say politicians did not squabble because they did. The unity was reflected in the lack of political parties at first and then essentially having only one party for a quarter of a century.

America has had two dominant political parties for most of its history. From Federalists versus Democratic-Republicans at our founding to Whigs and Democrats in the mid-1800’s to today’s Republicans and Democrats, two political parties have almost always vied for power in this country.
