The Anti-Masonic Party was founded in 1828 in upstate New York, capitalizing on the negative sentiment towards Freemasons after William Morgan, a Mason himself, was kidnapped and supposed dead because he attempted to publish information on Masonic secrets. The party introduced the concept of nominating committees in 1831, nominating former Attorney General William Wirt to run for president. He did not win the election the following year, and ironically split the opposition against Andrew Jackson, aiding his victory. Andrew Jackson was a primary enemy of the Anti-Masonic Party.
