National Republican Party

The National Republican Party was founded in 1825 by John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay. They formed in opposition to the presidency of Andrew Jackson and became known as the Anti-Jacksonian Party. It wasn't until 1830 when they became known as National Republicans.

They believed in a strong central government, high tariffs, internal improvements and a central bank.

Clay ran for president against Jackson in the Election of 1832 in an attempt to try and repeal Jackson's vetoing of a Bank of the United States.

Clay lost badly, and the party dissolved in 1833. Any supporters of the party joined a new rising party, the Whig Party.
