Politics in the Early Republic and Antebellum Era and the Modern Politics
Throughout the American history, politics have been a massive part of the lives of the American people. There have been numerous changes from the time which was famously known as the antebellum era up to the modern political era. Some of the changes that have taken place include the references that politicians make towards each other. During the antebellum era, there are negative political ads that were taken to a new level by the politicians of that era. The primary political legacy of the Early Republic and Antebellum era on contemporary American politics can still be seen in many ways. The modern politicians also reference the politics of this era as being dirty and politics of the bygone era. During the early Republic and Antebellum era, there were anonymous political speeches where politicians declared the opponent as villains to the people. They were using the opponent background and ethnicity to gain an advantage in the public. In the media, these were known as their attack ads. They were seen to be a massive part of the American politics. This is something that the modern politics has learned of, and everything seems to have changed in the modern era. Such speeches are currently seen as hate speech and are crimes against the law. It is not easy to find references such as someone b or a black original and Indian origin while referring to the opponent. If this happens, you can be a noun fall to the politician who is trying to gather the votes of the people (ReasonTV 12”).

The founders of America had their own ways of referring to issues. They had their own ways of gaining advantages over the others.
Similarly, the modern politicians have their own ways of engaging others. One of them is attacking the policies and human characters of the opponent. Even though this practices are different in approach, there are still similarities that can be spotted in them. The most basic similarity is that the open and still do everything possible to outdo the other in the media and in the eyes of the public. There is still the difference in approach and favor are you from the media towards other opponent.
