"Federal and state power rivalry?"

"The battle between industry and agriculture?"

In the White House office, Jackson frowned slightly, and Lincoln's summary of the causes of the Civil War seemed to him to be a normal phenomenon at the moment.

Needless to say, party contention is well understood.

The dispute between federal and state powers was a fierce dispute at the beginning of his tenure, and even reached Congress, for which a vice president resigned.

The debate was also initiated by his vice president, Calhoun.

On behalf of the interests of Southern slave owners, he advocated a federal policy of raising tariffs, advocating that the southern states not comply with federal legislation to raise tariffs.

Because, raising tariffs means that the economy of southern farmers will be oppressed, which will benefit northern industry.

This famous controversy erupted during Jackson's tenure.

As a result, he parted ways with Vice President Carl Horn, who resigned as vice president.

Because, he thought that President Jackson, who was born in the South, would stand firmly on his side, but where did he think that Jackson would stand in the position of president, resolutely uphold the laws issued by the Federation, and maintain the authority of the Federation.

Calhoun felt that Jackson had changed.

This caused the two to go their separate ways.

This matter is essentially a struggle between federal and state powers!

The essence of the federation is to consider the affairs of the country as a whole from a holistic perspective, and some policies will naturally harm the interests of a large number of states.

Naturally, there is also a dispute between agriculture and industry.

This thing did exist when the country was founded, and the Federation couldn't solve it, and he couldn't solve it, I don't know how many times the controversy broke out, but the problem was never solved.

So, the contradictions have accumulated to a certain extent, and finally they are irreconcilable?

Jackson felt a sense of powerlessness because the enemy could not see it, but could see him thrive, even as a participant himself.

[Meitaizu Washington: Lincoln, what do you say?] Can you elaborate on that? 】

Washington still doesn't understand these three reasons.

[Supreme Group Master: Time is running out, Lincoln, you'd better make a long story short and keep it simple. 】

For the three reasons summarized by Lincoln, Zhu Houzhao felt a little novel, combined with the previous development of the United States, the party struggle can make the United States more and more upward and better development, Zhu Houzhao has a lot of questions.

[Lincoln: Okay, I'll keep it simple. 】

Gathering his thoughts, Lincoln began.

[First of all, party strife, as we all know...... No, Louis XVI and the group leaders may not know that at the beginning of our American state, except for President Washington, who was a non-partisan, the rest of the presidents were from both parties. Most of us in the United States came to me during the period when the country was led by a two-party system, and I don't know what kind of development it has become. 】

[At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the two parties were the Federal Party and the National Democratic Republican Party. 】

[The reason why there are factions is different is that at first there are different philosophies of governing the country. 】

[One is the Federalist Party, founded by Mr. Washington, your Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton, and Vice President Adams.] This party advocates the strengthening of the federal government, with state power taking precedence over state power. 】

[The second Democratic Republican Party, founded by Mr. Washington, your Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Monroe.] This party advocates that the Union should not interfere too much in the affairs of the states and that we should make America an agrarian power. 】

[The emergence of these two parties can be regarded as a combination of the three contradictions I mentioned. 】

[The Federalist Party was originally quite powerful, and the second president, Adams, was the Federalist ......]

[Unfortunately, at the beginning of our founding, as Mr. Washington said before, the president was like a puppet and could not do anything, which inevitably led to the Federalist Party, which advocated increasing the power of the federal government, could not do anything, and could not win the support of the majority. 】

[So, the next thing is President Jefferson and their Democratic Republicans come to power, and he, along with the fourth president, James Madison, and the fifth president, Monroe, are all from the Democratic Republican Party, and during the three presidents in power, the Federalist Party gradually declined. 】

[The sixth president, John Quincy Adams, inherited his father's legacy and was successfully elected as a successor, but it was only short-lived, defeated by President Jackson, who came from the Democratic Republicans! 】

[It's just that President Jackson was originally a Democratic Republican, but when he was elected president, he did not have the support of the majority of the party, so after becoming president, he expelled some people who did not support him and reorganized the Democratic Republican Party into the Democratic Party......]

[American Xuanzong Jackson: Hehe, the Democratic Republican Party is too big, and some people are too arrogant and not harmonious at all, so they naturally don't deserve to be in it. 】

Speaking of himself, Jackson immediately added that there is no republic, what is it called the Democratic Republican Party.

[Mercerzu Lincoln: Haha, it's arrogant to say, Mr. Jackson, aren't you arrogant? Relying on the Democratic Republican Party to rise to power, and after the final success, it is equivalent to dissolving the Democratic Republican Party. Those who fail accuse you of being tyrannical and dictatorial, Emperor Andrew I! 】

Lincoln also interacted with each other, and added Jackson's nickname in passing.

Others didn't bother.

[Jackson: Well, let's move on to our bipartisan rivalry, and I know later that some of the people I kicked out of the party, and Adams's Republican Party, created the Whig Party to rebel against my dictatorship! 】

[Mercerzu Lincoln: Yes...... Unfortunately, the Whigs were not very lucky, although they eventually defeated you, and two Whigs became presidents, but as I said earlier, Harrison, he was president for only 32 days, and the other Whig, Zachary Taylor, was also president for only 16 months, and the two presidents they had died in office. 】

[Mitaizu Washington: Huh? 】

[American Xuanzong Jackson: These two died in office? This ......]

Jackson was a little surprised, after all, Harrison and Zachary Taylor were also from military backgrounds, and they had a similar experience to him, so he didn't expect his later years to be so ominous.

[Érezous Louis XVI: I know the English Whigs!] They advocate a stronger constitutional monarchy, right? Deserve! There should be no such partisanship! 】

Louis XVI was very happy, after all, the Whigs were going to target the constitutional monarchy as soon as they came up, and no monarch was disgusted.

[Supreme Group Master: This Whig Party doesn't seem to have a destiny? So, this kind of party should not exist! 】

It turned out to be a party that was engaged in to limit the monarch's power, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that he deserved it.

[Mercerzu Lincoln: Maybe this is fate, both Whig presidents died in office, and many people felt unlucky, so they ...... In later presidents, up to me, it was the Democrats who were created by Mr. Jackson to govern! 】

[Mercerzu Lincoln: And I, who was originally a Whig, but what the Whigs say, I can't say a word...... We later formed a new political party, the Republican Party. I became the first president of the Republican Party. This is the party struggle that has accompanied us in the United States for 89 years! 】

What Lincoln didn't know was that from the time he was president as a Republican, the two-party system in the United States ...... It started with the Democratic Party founded by Jackson and the Republican Party he started, and it will not change much in the future.

Moreover, Lincoln did not know that from his first Republican presidency, the next nearly 100 years were all during the Republican Party's reign until ...... A guy named Roosevelt came to power,

[Mercer Joe Lincoln: Most of the time, it was a two-party government. If the leader of the party is the president, the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Congress are the other party with fewer seats. When the party leader was in power, he caused something bad to happen to the country...... The number of opposition seats in the Congress, the Senate, and the House of Representatives will increase......]

[And one of the primary reasons for the outbreak of the war between the North and the South...... It was President Jackson that you, the Democrats, were not convinced, and went to the south to incite trouble, making a fuss, and a Confederate ......]
