-When it existed, the party was known as the '''Republicans.'''  The creation of the modern [[Republican Party]] in 1854 created a need to distinguish the two. For this reason, the anachronistic name '''Democratic Republican Party''' is sometimes used. When Andrew Jackson ran for president in 1824, the party divided into Jacksonian and Anti-Jackson factions. The modern Democratic Party traces its origins to the Jacksonian faction.
