British Whig Party: Century Liberal
built 618 days ago
The Whig party slowly evolved during the 18th century. In general terms, the Whig tendency supported the great aristocratic families and non-Anglicans (the "dissenters", such as Presbyterians), while the Tories supported the Anglican Church and the gentry. Later on, the Whigs drew support from the emerging industrial interests and wealthy merchants, while the Tories drew support from the landed interests and the British Crown. The Whigs were originally ... known as the "Country Party" (as opposed to the Tories, the "Court Party"). By the first half of the 19th century, however, the Whig political programme came to encompass not only the supremacy of parliament over the monarch and support for free trade, but the abolition of slavery, and, significantly, expansion of the franchise (suffrage). Eventually the Whigs would evolve into the Liberal Party (whilst the Tories became the Conservative Party).

Later in the 17th century the Whig party of England emerged in opposition to Charles II and to the accession of the Roman Catholic Duke of York as James II. The party was largely responsible for the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which established the supremacy of Parliament over the king. Backed by the growing British mercantile and industrial interests, the landed but untitled gentry, and the Protestant dissenters (or nonconformists), the Whig party achieved control of the government in 1714 on the accession of George I. For nearly 50 years the Whigs remained in power, until in 1760 the opposition Tory party rode a wave of conservative sentiment into office. During this period, those American colonists who supported the American War of Independence were known as Whigs.
