The Democratic Party is the brainchild of Martin Van Buren from the remnants of the Democractic-Republican Party after the disaster of the 1824 election. The leader of the newly formed Democrat Party in the 1830's was first Andrew Jackson, then Martin Van Buren. The Democratic National Committee wasn't organized until 1848. The other portion of the Democratic-Republican Party became the Whigs until 1852 when Abraham Lincoln formed the Republican Party.
