Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767 in Waxhaw, South Carolina. He was the 7th President of the United States who died on June 8, 1845. Jackson's efforts to limit the power of the affluent elite led to his reputation for 'Jacksonian Democracy.'
First, we have to understand who democracy expanded to. Tell me that, and we'll go from there.
Andrew Jackson's rise to power was due to the expansion of voting rights, particularly for white men, which democratized American politics. His victory in the contentious election of 1828, fueled by his appeal as a champion of the common man, marked the beginning of Jacksonian Democracy. This era reflected increased political participation and a shift away from elite control in American politics.
