The Era of the ?Common Man? The Jacksonian Period lived up to its characteristics of being the era of the ?common man.? Andrew Jackson allowed the common man an equal chance achieving success through his economic development, political development, and reform movements. During the era of the ?common man? the common man was the the middle class white male. President Andrew Jackson was the first American to come from humble beginnings and to become the President, this personified the idea of the self-made man. Andrew Jackson also personified the common man because he had been born to a family not of means. Both of Jackson?s parents died when he was young and he fended for himself then worked his way into the military then later became the first president not born from wealth.?

Seamus Moran Chapter 14: Jacksonian Democracy at Flood Tide 11/18/12 ?Nullies? in South Carolina? South Carolinians, still scornful toward the?Tariff of 1828, attempted to acquire the necessary two-thirds majority to nullify it in the S.C. legislature, but determined Unionists blocked them. In response to the anger at the ?Tariff of Abominations,? Congress passed the?Tariff of 1832, which did away with the worst parts of the Tariff of 1828, such as lowering the tariff down to 35%, a reduction of 10%, but many southerners still hated it. In the elections of 1832, the?Nullies?came out with a two-thirds majority over the Unionists, met in the state legislature, and declared the Tariff of 1832 to be void within S.C. boundaries.

Patrick Connolly Mr. Campbell Honors American History 28 November 2012 President Jackson: Dictator or Democrat? For the entire duration of John Quincy Adams? presidency, Americans were itching for someone new. They needed someone rough and tough who could serve as not just a president, but as a national hero. Jackson was the perfect candidate for the job, standing tall and mighty over America with a face that was testament to all the many battles and duels he had endured. Having technically won the popular vote in the 1824 election, which was supposedly ?corrupt,? there was virtually no competition for Jackson in the 1828 election. While John Quincy did run again, Jackson won by a landslide with the electoral vote being 68% for Jackson to a mere 32% vote for Adams.

Annie Hawkins p.1 FRQ The Jacksonian Era was a time described otherwise as the era of the ?Common Man?. In contrast to the previous Jeffersonian Era, the general movement was towards expansion. Jackson worked to increase the size and influence of the government, and also to make the general public more involved in government matters. There was also a strong leaning towards reform, and movements were common, especially in terms of labor. The difference between the rich and the poor, which had been steadily increasing, began to grow shorter, and the middle class increased in number. Jackson was a strong advocate for the working class, and made laws concerning the middle class. During the Jacksonian era, steps toward universal suffrage, expansion, and equal rights started to happen.

The Age of Jackson Outline The election of 1824 represented a break in the normal presidential nominating process As the reigning political organization, the Republicans chose their candidates by caucus The president usually sent the name of his secretary of state as his successor. Under this plan, in 1824, James Monroe would nominate John Quincy Adams The expansion of voting rights forced a change in the process in 1824 The caucus system seemed like an insider process. Divisions had grown up within the Republicans, with the National Republicans and the Democratic Republicans sponsoring different agendas The likelihood of Adam?s succession became clouded Although he had substantial experience as a diplomat, he still resembled a Federalist.
