A reprint of the 1954 Bobbs-Merrill edition. History's first
national party with roots in a mass electorate, the Jacksonian
Democrats were not so much unified around a shared policy program
as they were a patchwork of conflicting interests. They came
together most vigorously in the name of what they opposed: the
emerging financial and commercial monopolies, the old Washington
dynasty, and any whiff of privilege or aristocracy. Yet they
demonstrated how even unprincipled national parties could
invigorate representative democracy and repair the growing rifts
between Northern industrialists, the Old South, and the developing
West. These texts show the Jacksonian movement as a cross-section
of nineteenth century America. A picture of popular democracy in
its infancy, they together form a study of unity in diversity.
