Third Party System and Reconstruction

From 1828-1854, the issue of slavery led to the Democratic Party fracturing between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions. This split was perhaps best signaled when former president and Jacksonian ally Martin van Buren founded the Free Soil Party to oppose the spread of slavery into new states. The Jacksonian era practically came to an end following the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which saw mass defections from the Democrats to other parties. In 1854, members of the Whig Party, Free Soil Party and other membershe politics of the Democratic Party shifting instead towards the problem of Reconstruction. From 1862 to 1874 the Republican Party dominated American politics, controlling both the presidency, the House and Senate until the end of Reconstruction in 1877.

When the Panic of 1893 hit the United States, Cleveland and the Bourbon Democrats were immediately blamed for the depression. Because of this, the Democratic party split between pro and anti-Bourbonite factions. The anti-Bourbonites were most characterized by their support for the silver standard and bimetallism, as opposed to the gold standard. In the end, the anti-Bourbonites won out and nominated young Nebraska representative William Jennings Bryan, who became famous for his Cross of Gold speech, where he rallied for 'free silver', where the unlimited minting of silver coins would supposedly flood the economy with cash and end the depression. Bryan was controversial among Democrats, but despite losing the 1896 election, Bryan would continue to be the Democratic nominee until 1908, with the exception of 1904.
