Bourbonruled

Bourbonruled is a term used to describe a period in the history of the United States when the country was governed by Presidents from the same political party, the Democratic-Republican Party, which was led by the Bourbon family. This period lasted from 1801 to 1825, encompassing the administrations of Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe. The term "Bourbonruled" is derived from the French royal family, the Bourbons, who were the rulers of France during this time.

The Democratic-Republican Party, also known as the Jeffersonian Republicans, was founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. It was a political coalition that supported the interests of farmers, artisans, and small business owners, and opposed the interests of large landowners and merchants. The party's platform included a strong national government, a federal system of government, and a loose interpretation of the Constitution.

The Bourbonruled period was marked by a series of political and economic developments, including the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, and the Missouri Compromise. The period also saw the rise of the Second Bank of the United States, which played a significant role in the country's economic development.

The Bourbonruled period ended with the election of Andrew Jackson in 1828. Jackson, a former general and war hero, was a member of the Democratic Party, which was founded in opposition to the Democratic-Republican Party. The Democratic Party's platform included a strong national government, a federal system of government, and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. The election of Andrew Jackson marked the beginning of a new era in American politics, known as the Jacksonian era.
