The Anti-Masonic Party, also known as the Anti-Masonic Movement, was the earliest third party in the United States. A single-issue party, it strongly opposed Freemasonry; it later aspired to become a major party by expanding its platform to take positions on other issues. After emerging as a political force in the late 1820s, most of the Anti-Masonic Party's members joined the Whig Party in the 1830s and the party disappeared after 1838.
