The Jacksonian Democrats and the Whig Party both struggled for power in United States during this time period. The Jacksonian Democrats were very similar to modern day Democrats. Andrew Jackson, President at the time, was leader of the Democratic Party while Henry Clay was the leader of the Whig Party. The two parties struggled until the Whig part collapsed in the early 1850's.
