Thomas Jefferson became president in 1800, in what is sometimes referred to as the Revolution of 1800. This election was significant because for the first time in the history of the United States, power was handed between presidents of opposite parties and ideologies.
George Washington and John Adams - the first two presidents - had both been federalists who supported a strong central government and industrialization. Thomas Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican who supported states rights and an agrarian society. That power could be transferred between Adams and Jefferson peaceful was a testament to the power of the new government the Founders had created.
