What events lead to the destruction of the first party system and the emergence of the second party system?

The first party system pitted the Federalists against the
Democratic- Republicans.  This party system ended because of the War of 1812.  The
Federalists were anti-war and pro-British to the extent that they talked (at the
Hartford Convention) of seceding from the Union.  This destroyed their viability as a
party and ended the first party system.

After that, there
was an "era of good feelings" in which there was really only one party.  This lasted
until the late 1820s when that system began to break apart and a second party system was
created.  This system had the Democrats contending with the Whigs.  This party system
came about largely because of the rise of Andrew Jackson and the people's reaction to
him.  The Democrats became the party of the common people while the Whigs became more of
the party of business interests.
