The Age of Jackson:
Election of Andrew Jackson and the emergence of
“Jacksonian Democracy”
Background:
 Since the end of the War of 1812, the United
States had enjoyed an “Era of Good Feelings”.
There was only one political party
(Republican) and the general mood was one
of unity and cooperation
 By 1824, the Republican party had begun to
splinter over the role of the federal
government and sectional
priorities/differences (North-South-East)
The Age of Jackson:
Election of Andrew Jackson and the emergence of
“Jacksonian Democracy”
 From this friction, four candidates (from the
same party) would emerge to run for
president
The Age of Jackson:
Election of Andrew Jackson and the emergence of
“Jacksonian Democracy”

The Age of Jackson:
Election of Andrew Jackson and the emergence of
“Jacksonian Democracy”
MAIN IDEAS:
 During the Jackson Era, American democracy expanded and our modern
political system began to take shape
 The reemergence of a two-party system occurred when the Republican party
split over the role and power of federal government into the Democratic party
and the National Republican party (Later to be called Whigs)
 An expansion of voting rights (suffrage) and the election of the “common man”
Andrew Jackson in 1828 signaled the growing power of the American people
(white men specifically)
 New ways of political campaigning such as mudslinging, slogans, and rallies
emerged during this time
Part 1:
The Election of 1824 and the “Corrupt Bargain”
The Election of 1824 and the “Corrupt Bargain”
 During the election of 1824, none of the
four candidates received a majority of the
electoral college votes
 In accordance to the Constitution, the
election then went to the House of
Representatives to select a winner where
Henry Clay (KY) was the influential leader
 Clay met with John Q. Adams and Clay
decided to use his influence to defeat
Jackson
 Adams won and Clay was appointed to
serve as his Secretary of State (an
important stepping-stone to presidency)
The Election of 1824 and the “Corrupt Bargain”
 Jackson and his supporters were furious
and accused the two of making a “corrupt
bargain” and stealing the election from the
people. Clay and Adams denied any
conspiracy.
 Though fully capable, Adams’ was unable
to garner much support for his initiatives
as the limited government faction of the
Republican party opposed government
spending on “internal improvements” and
expanding role in world affairs.
Part 2:
The Election of 1828 and the Rise of
“Jacksonian Democracy”
The Election of 1828 and the Rise of “Jacksonian
Democracy”
 By the time the Election of 1828 had come
about, the Republican Party had split:
Jackson’s supporters called themselves
Democrats and Adams’ supporters the
National Republicans
 The Democrats favored states’ rights and
limited federal government (banking and
internal improvements were states’
responsibility)
 The National Republicans favored a strong
central government (banking and internal
improvements were federal responsibility)
The Election of 1828 and the Rise of “Jacksonian
Democracy”
 The campaign was marked by mudslinging
(use of gossip and lies to make an
opponent look bad), campaign slogans,
buttons, and rallies. (practices still carried
on in modern political campaigns)
 Jackson won the election easily, but the
results demonstrated a growing rift in the
young republic as Jackson only losses were
in the industrializing north
 John C Calhoun (who had been Adams’
vice-president) supported states’ rights
and switched to the Democrats and also
served as Jackson’s VP
The Election of 1828 and the Rise of “Jacksonian
Democracy”
 By the 1820’s, the property ownership
requirement to vote had largely
disappeared and the right to votes for
white males was greatly expanded.
 This meant that for the first time common
laborers (working class) such as
sharecroppers, dockworkers, factory
workers and others could vote
 This newly expanded American electorate
admired Jackson because he was seen as a
patriot, a self-made man, and a war hero
The Election of 1828 and the Rise of “Jacksonian
Democracy”
 Jackson carefully portrayed himself as a
“common man” and would lead the
Democratic party in an effort to open
government opportunities and services to
the people and expand their political
power… “Jacksonian Democracy”
