Differences In The Gilded Age

The American Civil War is one of the main events in American history, and maybe the most important one after the revolution of 1776 which created the United States. The Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865 and we can say that in some way it determined the kind of nation that the United States would be. Out of the existing 34 states at the time, approximately 10 of them had withdrawn from the United States and formed the Confederacy. The Confederate States of America, or the “South”, consisted of slave states, were slavery was legal. The remaining states, or the “North”, formed the Union.

Hamilton and Jefferson had different views on how they should run the country. They couldn’t agree on what was the best for the country.

The Federalists favored a strong central government while the Republicans draw attention to the states’ rights. The Republican Party supported France while Federalists supported England. The Republicans supported France because they supported America in its fight for independence. Also, France had the best navy and Republicans respected the strength of their navy. Hamilton supported England because they had more goods and services where they needed to continue trade routes.

Both Federalists and Democratic-Republicans, have different opinions on how they want the Government to function. For example on page 292, Alexander Hamilton was representing the Federalists. Here are a few examples of what the Federalists had wanted, they wanted to rule by the Wealthy class, have a strong Federal Government, and want to have an Alliance with the British. There was also an issue with immigration because the immigrants had supported the ideals of the French Revolution, so the Federalists were not too excited about that. On the contrary, Thomas Jefferson was representing the Democratic- Republicans.

I watched the Lochner v. New York case. Before I watched this case, I did some research and thought it wasn’t a really important or meaningful case because it is just a case that bakery owner against the Bakeshop Act law made by New York City. But After watching this video, I totally changed my mind. Just like the reporter said (at 1:30 of the video), “this case brings rise to an era that defined the supreme court for the next thirty years. Randy Barnett, a professor of Georgetown Law School, also showed how important this case was in American political history.

The Federalists believed in supported federal administration and were highly in favor of the Constitution, while the Democratic-Republicans favored the idea of extending the Revolution to everyday people. Their party names reflect their standpoints. The Election of 1796 was the first in American History for candidates running for office to belong to organized political parties.

Jefferson v. Hamilton There are many conflicts in the early years of the American politics. There are two famous political parties during the early years of American Independence, and their ideologies were completely opposite. Thomas Jefferson was the third American President from 1801-1809. Alexander Hamilton was the founder of Federalist party and President Washington elected him as a first secretary of the treasurer.

Talking about Alexander Hamilton, I got interested in this man when I was reading a book called “ the great game”. It vividly describes the ordinary Wall Street from a normal street to become a world financial center like the legendary history, showing a significant role in Wall Street as the representative of the US capital markets in the United States economic development and growth. A lot of historical facts and economic data we can find in the book that can help us be more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the development of the US capital markets.

So why there were political battles between two parties in the late 18th century?

Federalists vs Democratic Republicans The government has to be run by someone right but by what party and how?
