| | Polk failed to recognize the Barnburners' election efforts on his behalf, including Wright's successful run for governor, which helped Polk win New York State, and he favored the Hunkers through patronage. | | | Democratic divisions intensified after Martin Van Buren's failed renomination bid in 1844 and new Democratic president James K. Polk's mishandling of the state's factional differences. | | | Many Barnburners, however, would join the antislavery Republican Party later in the 1850s. |

| | The election of Polk in 1844 resulted in a split of the Democratic party in New York into two factions, the Barnburners, representing the Van Buren wing and opposing the extension of slavery in the territories, and the Hunkers, representing the administration and its views. | | | The Barnburners were a mid-19th century faction of the American Democratic Party in New York State, so called from an alleged eagerness for radical measures, in allusion to the story of the Dutchman who burned down his barn in order to clear it of rats. | | | He was born in 1905 and died in 1970. |

| | On the other band, the opposite school was termed Barnburners, in allusion to the story of an old Dutchman who relieved himself of rats by burniug his barns which they infested--just like exterminating all Banks and Corporations to root out the abuses connected therewith. | | | We believe the title was also intended to indicate that those on whom it was conferred had an appetite for a large hunk of "the spoils"--though we never could discover that they were peculiar in that. | | | They have gone into such depths of Barnburning Radicalism, that a large portion of the rank and file are determined not to follow.--Ibid. |
