Best Answer

The first Democratic Party was organized around Andrew Jackson. After he lost the election of 1824 despite leading in popular votes and electoral votes, his supporters built a cohesive national party to make him President in 1828. This party nominated and elected presidents until 1860 when it split up over slavery. After the Civil War, the party revived as the opposition to the Republicans. There was no one person who organized it and no one leader that led it and was not until 1884 that they managed to elect a President although they almost won in 1876.
