| | Reader's Companion to American History - -JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY |
 | | Although the Jacksonian Democracy died in the 1850s, it left a powerful legacy, entwining egalitarian aspirations and class justice with the presumptions of white supremacy. | | | An ambiguous, controversial concept, Jacksonian Democracy in the strictest sense refers simply to the ascendancy of Andrew Jackson and the Democratic party after 1828. | | | Robert V. Remini, Andrew Jackson and the Course of American Democracy, 1832-1845 (1984); Michael Paul Rogin, Fathers and Children: Andrew Jackson and the Subjugation of the American Indian (1975); Harry L. Watson, Liberty and Power: The Politics of Jacksonian America (1990). |

| | Jacksonians are armed for defense: of the home and person against robbers; against usurpations of the federal government; and of the United States against its enemies. | | | Jacksonian America is a folk community with a strong sense of common values and common destiny; though periodically led by intellectually brilliant men—like Andrew Jackson himself—it is neither an ideology nor a self-conscious movement with a clear historical direction or political table of organization. | | | Jacksonian opinion is slow to focus on a particular foreign policy issue, and slower still to make a commitment to pursue an end vigorously and for the long term. |

| | Jackson commanded fear and respect from his subordinates, and ignored the Supreme Court on several occasions; he also used the veto 12 times (compared to a combined 10 times by his predecessors) and on his inauguration, he let commoners come into the White House. | | | In the Tariff of 1828, the Jacksonians schemed to drive up duties to as high as 45% while imposing heavy tariffs on raw materials like wool, so that even New England, where it was needed, would vote the bill down and give Adams another political black eye. | | | During the Jacksonian era, voter turnout rose dramatically, as clear political parties developed and new styles of politicking emerged. |

| | Finally, although Jeffersonian Republicans celebrated the growing democracy of America, they still conceived of politics and governance as concerns reserved for the educated, well-bred elite; the great body of the people were relegated to the role of appreciative observers who, at election time, would reward virtuous and public-spirited officials with re-election. | | | The summary response to these questions is that, while the pendulum has swung decisively away from uncritical celebration of Andrew Jackson, his supporters, and his heirs, they are by no means the demonized villains that National Republicans such as John Quincy Adams thought them to be. | | | The American people passed the torch to a generation of Americans who either experienced the Revolution as children or were born in the first years of independence. |
