For the Dukes of Albany who served as regent of the Kingdom of Scotland, see Regent Albany (disambiguation) and Regent Albany.
The Albany Regency was a group of politicians who controlled the New York state government between 1822[1] and 1838. Originally called the "Holy Alliance", it was instituted by Martin Van Buren, who remained its dominating spirit for many years.[1] The group was among the first American political machines. In the beginning they were the leading figures of the Bucktails faction of the Democratic-Republican Party, later the Jacksonian Democrats and finally became the Hunkers faction of the Democratic Party.
