Elbridge Gerry redrew the congressional districts in Massachusetts in 1812 to give his Democratic-Republican party an electoral advantage over the Federalists. This manipulation of district boundaries is the origin of the term 'gerrymandering.' Gerry's actions were part of a broader political strategy to secure his party's power in elections.
