The Whig Party was active in the United States primarily from the 1830s to the 1850s. It emerged in opposition to President Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party, advocating for a stronger legislative role and economic modernization. The party declined in the 1850s, largely due to divisions over slavery, and ultimately dissolved by the end of the decade, with many former Whigs joining the newly formed Republican Party.
