Abstract

“Jacksonian America” is popularly used to describe roughly the two decades between 1830 and 1850, during which rapid political, geographic, and social changes swept across the United States. Although Andrew Jackson himself was not responsible for many of those changes, his character and public image have dominated the era to the point that historians have adopted the phrase Jacksonian America as a useful, if not entirely accurate, way of describing the county in the mid-nineteenth century.
