essential question:

How did the Age of Jackson change America?

Page 3: Consider: How might the common person think differently than someone who is rich and “well-born?” What might the common white male, perhaps one that does

The United States would change forever, becoming more like it is today during the…

Age of Jackson• 1820s and 1830s• more power to the

common mano states end the property

requirement to voteo common men would then

vote for Jackson because he grew up as a common man

• more power to the President

Consider the two graphs above to answer the following:

How much did white male voting change in the 1820s?

How does the percentage of eligible voters today compare to the Age of Jackson?

Even with the support of the common man, getting elected President was not easy for Andrew Jackson. When he ran in 1824, he was stopped by the…“corrupt bargain”

I’ll get you, Republicans!

Page 7: Consider: How might the common person think differently than someone who is rich and “well-born?” What might the common white male, perhaps one that does

Define “corrupt bargain” in your own words.

I’ll get you, Republicans!

You should have something like: Henry Clay got Quincy Adams elected President in the House in exchange for a position as Secretary of State.

Jackson’s anger over Clay and others’ turning against him leads him to split the Republican party by forming his own party, the… Jacksonian Democrats

Page 9: Consider: How might the common person think differently than someone who is rich and “well-born?” What might the common white male, perhaps one that does

Booo!!! You’re worse than your

father was at being President!

Jackson’s anger over Clay and others’ turning against him leads him to split the Republican party by forming his own party, the… Jacksonian Democrats

The Jacksonian Democrats

were helped by the fact that John

Quincy Adams did not do well

as President from 1825-

1829.

The Constitution permits each state legislature to choose the

method of electing presidential electors for its state. In 1800 the

legislatures in most states appointed the electors. By 1824 most states had adopted more

democratic systems in which electors pledged to specific

presidential candidates were selected by popular vote in

statewide elections.

Read over the article about the mudslinging that occurred in the presidential campaign of 1828 if you have not yet done so. Then, create a mudslinging campaign poster of your own. Be sure to include to picture for those that are illiterate.

We will be practicing writing in our own words and considering perspective while looking at Jacksonian political reform. Answer the question below in your own words. Consider using any of the terms suggested. The more terms are used, the more likely you have a thorough answer. Then, draw facial expressions and speech bubbles to show the common man’s and rich and well-born man’s perspective on Jackson’s rise to power.

How did Andrew Jackson go from the frontier to the

White House?

possible terms to use in your answer: Battle of New Orleans, common man, “corrupt bargain,” election of 1824, Democratic Party (a.k.a. Jacksonian Democrats), and election of 1828

Example of a answer about Jackson’s road from the frontier to the White House

(remember to use your own words).Jackson went from being born on the frontier to the White House. He became famous by winning the Battle of New Orleans. He was especially popular with the common man. He lost the election of 1824 due to what he called a “corrupt bargain.” As a result, Jackson formed the Democratic Party and won the election of 1828.

Page 19: Consider: How might the common person think differently than someone who is rich and “well-born?” What might the common white male, perhaps one that does

I hate Jackson because my interests were represented until he became President.

I love Jackson because he doesn’t

trust the rich, just like me!!!

How did Jackson’s spoils system

change the way government works?

spoils system = giving your political allies appointments when you are elected

Although this cartoon was published by Thomas Nast in 1877 to ridicule the political

corruption of that day, Jackson was credited with inventing the "spoils" system of giving the victors in an election the rewards of making job

appointments.

It is ironic that Jackson is now on federal money because he killed the national bank

responsible for a common currency.
