The First Political Parties
Why the first political parties were formed and how they affected the election of 1796. During the 1840s and 1850s, anti-slavery parties began to emerge.
There were no political parties during George Washington’s Presidency. Most of the nation’s early leaders believed that political parties, or factions, as they called them, would harm the nation. They feared that factions would try to overthrow the government. This fear, however, did not keep people from having opposing political views.
