Welcome, donkeys. This president's supporters founded the Democratic Party.

As the seventh president of the United States, "Old Hickory" Andrew Jackson was the first president to be mass-voted into his office (as opposed to appealing to the elite of his party) – a movement called the Jacksonian Democracy. Supporters of the military hero are credited with founding the Democratic party when Jackson won the 1824 popular vote but lost the election.
