The democratic party.

 The Democratic party was founded by Thomas Jefferson. It was founded as a caucus to fight for the bill of rights and against the elitist Federalist party. In 1800 Thomas Jefferson was elected as the first Democratic President of the united states. They talked about Thomas Jefferson. Andrew Jackson was born in 1767 , He was the seventh president of the united states. The election of John Quincy Adams 6Th president in 1824 led to the split of the Democratic-Republican Party. They also talked about The Donkey. Andrew Jackson's opponents labeled him as a "jackass" for is slogan "let the people rule". He used the name and used it for his own advantage by using the donkey on his campaign posters, The first time the Donkey was used in a political cartoon was in 1837. They also gave us main points of the Democrats and Republicans. They explained what the differences were. They showed us a map where it shows what states are Republcians , and the ones that are Democratic. After they were done presenting there powerpoint, they showed us a BRAIN POP video after we were done watching the clip, We took the quiz.
I really liked how they presented they explained it well, and each person from their group read a part out loud so they all participated. I really enjoyed there Presentation :D
