Jacksonian Democracy has become almost a commonplace in American
history. But in this penetrating analysis of one state-its voting
cycles, party makeup, and social, ethnic, and religious
patterns-Lee Benson shows that the concept bears little or no
relation to New York history during the Jacksonian period. New York
voters between 1816 and 1844 did not follow the traditional
distinctions between Whigs and Democrats. Ethnic and religious ties
were stronger social forces than income, occupation, and
environment. Mr. Benson's examination suggests a new theory of
American voting behavior and a reconsideration of other local
studies during this period. Originally published in 1961. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
