The election between Jefferson and Adams is often referred to as the "Revolution of 1800" because the election was in many ways like a war. Adams and Jefferson were basically at war with each other in order to become president. When Jefferson won and Adams lost, it was like a revolution. Adams was like the "ruler" and Jefferson the "underdog". Having the new guy win was in fact very much like a revolution.

Why did Jefferson call the election of 1800 a peaceful election?
Jefferson referred to his victory in the 1800 US Presidential election the "Second American Revolution". He called it that because the election finally swept President Adams and his Federalist Party out of power. The Federalists had largely controlled the whole Federal government since 1789; Washington was not a Federalist, but he had a tendency to go along with Federalist policies. So in 1801, when Jefferson took control, he was the first Democratic-Republican to have control of the government; he also had a friendly Congress to work with, as his party took control of both the House and the Senate.
