The revolution of 1800 was unique in politics at that time because this was the first peaceful transfer of political power in the history of the republic and democratic-republicans addressed Jefferson’s victory as the revolution 1800. The transfer of power from the federalists to the democratic republicans in a peaceful way was the most important and surprising result of election and was singled out as a break from European precedent of violent and bloody power transfers.
