    The elections of 1800 and 2016 show a similarity in the way each party attacked each other. Many people think that the 2016 presidential election was the worst for mudslinging that there has ever been.

In the 1800’s, the candidates and their political parties would use their influence with the media to spread lies and misinformation about the other candidates, just like they did in the 2016 presidential election. It seems the media of today has definitely chosen sides just like they did in the 1800’s.

The Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans both possessed strong campaigns with good arguments to sway voters to their side, however, almost every positive campaigning tactic meant to promote their party’s candidate was met with slandering of some kind from the other side. The dilemma of every voter at the time was to choose between a strong government to protect them, or choose to protect themselves. This was the dilemma of Timothy Tisdale. As said by Joanne Freeman, author of a published article on the election, “The presidential election of 1800 was an angry,

They set a percent of presidents being politically sound and well-known; their beliefs for how the nation should be handled were essential to their campaign. President Andrew Jackson, however, did not follow this system, instead winning primarily by his personality and popularity amongst the common American. While his actions in office often appeared to be for the people, most had a hidden selfish side to them that he easily covered up. With the election of 1828, Jackson radically changed American politics, focusing them more on public appearance and personal character than on intelligence and political views, making personality just as, if not more important than the actual politics of a political term.
