    The problem with the Democratic Party from its founding by Jackson and Van Buren was its admirable belief in state's rights and a limited federal government fundamentally linked the Party to support of slavery. After Van Buren, every Democratic Presidential Administration through Buchanan's was a failure due to the slavery issue. The most egregious failure was the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which motivated Lincoln and others to form the Republican Party in 1854.

      @@battlescorn tnat was certainly a major success. But Polk also achieved every major domestic and foreign policy goal set during his campaign. Polk not only defeated Mexico-acquiring California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, parts of Colorado and Wyoming, and New Mexico-and annexed Texas, but he threatened war with Great Britain over control of the Oregon Country, eventually reaching an agreement in which both nations agreed to partition the region at the 49th parallel. Polk also accomplished his goals in domestic policy. He built an independent treasury system that lasted until 1913. He reduced tariff rates, lowering the price of both imported and, through competition, domestic goods. He also opened the U.S. Naval Academy and the Smithsonian Institution, began construction of the Washington Monument, and issued the first U.S. postage stamp. He strengthened relations with New Grenada and opened the way to construction of the Panama Railway. He also fulfilled his pledge to be a one-term president. He is regarded by many historians as the most consequential of the lesser known presidents. He didn’t help resolve the slavery issue. Arguably, his annexation of Texas helped to exacerbate the issue, until the Compromise of 1850. He also narrowly failed in purchasing Cuba. But Polk had added more land to the United States than even Jefferson with the Louisiana Purchase. He certainly wasn’t a failed president.

      You should read up on James Knox Polk, Democratic president 1845-49, who accomplished every one of his campaign promises, working himself to death by never taking a vacation during his single term, and rarely took a single day off over his four years. Exhausted, he foreswore a second term and dropped dead weeks after he left office, in his early 50s.

    The claim that Martin Van Buren was admitted to the New York State Bar Association in November 1803 is actually a misconception. While Van Buren did study law, the New York State Bar Association itself was not established until much later, in 1876. Therefore, the idea that Van Buren had direct association with this organization is historically inaccurate.
    Van Buren's legal career did commence around the same time as the supposed admission, and he went on to become a prominent figure in American politics, serving as the eighth President of the United States from 1837 to 1841. His legacy primarily revolves around his political achievements rather than any direct connection to the New York State Bar Association during its early years.

    What a wonderful job, as always. As an amateur historian, I learned something I hadn’t known about his name’s pronunciation and his non-first language use of English. Of course, today the political poles in the US have flipped 180 degrees. The people who believe that we should always come together thru our government (which, after all is us!) to help those less fortunate and telling people like me who can easily afford it to shut up and pay for it are now Democrats, and the people who believe in self-determination without any help from OR FOR anyone else have become Republicans. I am a disciple of FDR, and believe we should always come together for everyone, with a large activist government of the people paid for by those according to their ability to pay. We did it that way here in the US from 1935-1980, and created the largest and most successful Middle Class the planet has ever seen. The rich were still obscenely rich, (ask me!) even paying 70% in taxes. Now, .5% of the people own 80% of the wealth, thanks to Ronald Reagan.

You have to let your children be accountable for their action. It's a learning moment, it's how they/we mature. If you keep bailing them out, they will just keep expecting it. You might not always be around to do so. It is usually Jungian extraverted feelers (Fe) that are enablers.

      Times have changed and so did the parties who switched platforms. Corporations changed the Republican Party to a conservative one forcing liberals to join the democratic one.
      With slavery gone the new programs attracted blacks to the democratic one since republicans now opposed big government to make corporations happy. This is why today the left is democratic and conservatives and southerners are republican. It was 💯 opposite 150 years ago

      ​@fishjj76 they only switch because of the failure of the Carter's term in office. Till the 80s most of the south including Texas voted Democrat. Texas last Democrat governor was in 94. Newt Gingrich campaign and made a lot of inroads in the late 70s and 80s to were the Republicans captured both houses in Clinton's term forcing him to work with Republicans and executive in the middle and making Gingrich the last great speaker of the house since all his successors are sellouts selling the country to the highest bidder.

      How did they switch let alone 180 degrees. I can understand Democrats wanting to distance themselves from their terrible past but to impugn that the GOP inherited their mantle is risible. Blacks voting in large numbers for the Democrats now might be more a reflection of blacks and less of the parties.
