In Andrew Jackson and the Rise of the Democratic Party, author Mark
R. Cheathem provides a unique historical analysis and bold critique
of American partisanship from the early republic to the end of
Andrew Jackson’s administration. Cheathem begins by discussing
the American political system after the American Revolutionary War
while the debates over the ratification of the Constitution stormed
on. In doing so, he delivers a contextual and chronological
analysis of how the political system evolved from the vision of the
Founding Fathers to Jackson’s populist Democratic party. Though
other political changes throughout the decades affected the
development of Jacksonian Democracy, Cheathem argues it was an
identity crisis in the Republican party during Jackson’s rise to
power that allowed Jackson’s populism to thrive. The faltering of
the Republican party and Jackson’s executive agenda continued to
shape the state of the Democratic party for years. Additionally,
Cheathem considers both Jacksonian Democracy’s impact on the
political system of the time and his lingering populist influence
in the altered Republican party and contemporary Republican
presidencies. Cheathem deftly portrays the political nuances of
Jackson’s rise, detailing events that shaped the early form and
long-term durability of the Democratic party. Finally, Cheathem
notes that the Democratic party of the Jacksonian era and
Jackson’s ideology are hardly embraced by today’s Democratic
party nor seen as the epitome of democracy. Setting all such
historicism aside, Cheathem points American readers to the
democratic climate of the present, welcoming renewed scrutiny of
the one system which is ours to improve.
