Explanation of the Whig and Tory parties in British and American politics.
In the context of British politics in the 19th century, the Whig Party evolved into the modern Liberal Party under the leadership of William Gladstone. On the other hand, the Tory Party was amalgamated into the more contemporary Conservative Party by Benjamin Disraeli. These parties alternated in power with Disraeli and Gladstone serving as prime ministers during this period.
Whig leaders emphasized Protestant culture and federal-sponsored internal improvements, attracting supporters from various reform movements. Conversely, the Tory Party comprised nobles and landowners, often aligning with agricultural interests. Their clashes over parliamentary reforms eventually led to the passing of the Great Reform Act in 1832.
In America during the Age of the Common Man, the emergence of the Democrats and Whigs as political parties was influenced by the differing views on the role of government. Democrats supported populism and government reflecting the will of the majority, while Whigs favored government intervention for economic growth.
