Democracy and the Age of Andrew Jackson

Democracy and the Age of Andrew Jackson explores one of the most energetic, controversial, and transformative periods in early American history. From the Missouri Compromise and the expansion of voting rights for white men to Andrew Jackson's rise, the Bank War, the Nullification Crisis, Indian Removal, the Trail of Tears, and the reform movements inspired by the Second Great Awakening, this book reveals how American democracy grew more powerful while remaining deeply unequal.The book examines the promise and contradiction of Jacksonian America: a nation that celebrated popular politics, mass participation, and the 'common man,' while excluding women, Black Americans, Native peoples, and enslaved communities from the full meaning of liberty. Moreover, this seventh volume brings readers into an era of fierce political conflict, moral reform, westward expansion, and national crisis—an age that reshaped the United States and foreshadowed the deeper sectional struggles that would eventually lead to the Civil War.
