Yes, the election of 1796 did increase political tensions. President John Adams and Vice President Thomas Jefferson belonged to different political parties and did not agree on government policy. This led to disagreements and conflicts between the two parties. Additionally, Northerners were unhappy with the fact that Southerners, who counted enslaved people as part of their population, had more representation in Congress. This caused tensions between the North and the South. Furthermore, farmers and shopkeepers were angry that the wealthy elite controlled the major leadership of the government, further contributing to political tensions.
