The first two political parties in the United States were the Federalist Party, founded by Alexander Hamilton, and the Republican Party (also known as the Democratic-Republican Party), founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The latter is not to be confused with the modern-day Republican Party, which was founded in the mid-19th century.

Charles Cotesworth Pinckney's famous remark "No, no, not a sixpence!" in response to the XYZ Affair, where French agents demanded a bribe to begin negotiations, made him a popular figure among Federalists. His stand against the French demand for a bribe helped elevate his stature, leading to his selection as a vice-presidential candidate in 1800.
