 In the year 1800, Thomas Jefferson sparked what is now called the Revolution of 1800 for the United States of America. He and his Democratic-Republican Party members did this by campaigning against the Federalists that resided in the country. Through the press and public meetings and the organization of Democratic societies and clubs, Thomas Jefferson brought his campaign all throughout the country and created the very real Revolution of 1800.

Jefferson used the press to spread his Democratic-Republican views to many different Americans. He was mainly aiming for the Federalists still left in America and he hit many of them with his party. He used things like the newspaper and other periodicals to gain the trust of these Federalists and turn them into Democratic-Republicans. In this way, the press greatly helped Jefferson win the presidency and make the country Democratic-Republican.

Using public meetings, Jefferson created many Democratic-Republicans throughout America. Jefferson had many meetings in order to have everyone voice their opinion so he could know what he needed to change and how to convince people to be Democratic-Republicans. People debated with each other and Jefferson changed people’s views on how America should be run. Many Federalists were converted into Democratic-Republicans because of Jefferson’s idea of public meetings.

Organization of Democratic societies and clubs created many Democratic-Republicans in the United States. The Federalists of America tried to make it so America would not be Democratic-Republican by voting for Aaron Burr, rather than Thomas Jefferson for the third President of the United States, but Jefferson’s societies and clubs convinced more people to be a Democratic-Republican. After eight days of balloting, Thomas Jefferson was declared President and the Democratic-Republicans overpopulated the Federalists in America. After all of these organizations, many Democratic-Republicans were created from Federalists.
