So it says here that the Whig party was formed in response to the overreaching executive policies of President Andrew Jackson.

Seems they felt the prez was gettin’ a might uppity, doing things that maybe he wasn’t authorized to do, such as taking deposits from the Bank of the United States without the consent of congress.

Who’s up for a Whig rally?

This time they probably won’t fall apart due to internal squabbling on the question of slavery. I think that question’s probably been pretty well answered now (It’s bad.)
