Discuss the change in American political culture from the 1820s to the 1840s. Contrast the election of 1828 with the election of 1840
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The removal of voting restrictions for white adult males led to a democratization of politics in the 1820s. A competitive party system featured conventions, rallies, and parades to encourage political participation and identification. Styling himself as the people's candidate in 1828, Andrew Jackson derided the Adams administration as corrupt and aristocratic. Ironically, the Whigs turned the tables in 1840 by "out-Jacksoning" the Democrats in appealing to the "common man."
