what era did democratic party emerge
Andrew Jackson was general of the War of 1812 who really embraced many of the Anti-Federalist ideals of the Democratic-Republicans and galvanized popular support with his military hero status. The Democratic-Republican party was the only party during the Era of Good Feelings, making the Democratic party the only party to emerge after the end of that era. The Whigs emerged a bit later for the sole purpose of opposing the Democrats, but they were a very splintered group.
