The economic depression that was experienced in 1830s was a result of poor economic decisions made by Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States of America and the state banks.

The Whig Party emerged as a politician institution in the 19th century in the United States of America, in direct opposition to President Jackson's intention of bringing together members of both the anti-masonic party, the national Republican Party and the democrats that seem disgruntled. The Whigs believed and stood their grounds in support of protective tariffs, national banking, and federal aid for internal improvements.

Whiggery is characterized by people who were truly American, favoring independence from Great Britain during the American Revolution.
