The History of Political Parties in the U.S.
Episode Summary
Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/history-on-the-margins/exclusive-content
In this episode, John pulls back the curtain on the often chaotic, surprising, and downright weird history of political parties in the United States. From the Founding Fathers’ warnings about factionalism to the two-party dominance we know today, this episode traces how American politics evolved into its modern form — complete with ideological flip-flops, backroom deals, and some truly strange alliances along the way.
Expect humor, history, and a few “wait… what?” moments as we follow the journey from Federalists and Anti-Federalists to Democrats and Republicans, and explore how the political landscape became so polarized.
George Washington warned against political factions in his farewell address — and within just a few years, his closest allies had formed one anyway. So much for that.
