Henry Clay was a leader in the Whig Party which was founded in opposition to Jackson's Democratic Party. For one thing, the Whigs favored re-chartering the Bank of the United States, which Jackson strongly opposed. The Whigs were less tolerant of slavery than was Jackson. Clay tended to be more aristocratic than Jackson and more concerned with manufacturing interests.
