  1. ANDREW JACKSON, AS THE FIRST PRESIDENT NOT BORN TO WEALTH, HAD SOME PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO POLITICAL DEMOCRACY, AND MAY ALSO HAVE HAD A BROADER IDEA OF SOCIAL DEMOCRACY THAN MOST OTHER WHITE PEOPLE OF HIS ERA. JACKSON INVARIABLY INVOKED DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES AND THE INTERESTS OF THE COMMON MAN IN HIS POLITICAL CAREER, AND THAT SERVED TO DEMOCRATIZE THE NATION BY INSPIRING ELIGIBLE WHITE MEN TO VOTE. BUT JACKSON INVARIABLY ACTED CONTRARY TO DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES WHEN IT SERVED HIS POLITICAL AMBITIONS AND HIS OWN ECONOMIC INTEREST – AND ALSO WHEN HE BELIEVED IT WAS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE UNITED STATES.

  2. Throughout United States history, industrialization has always had a major impact. Soon after the War of 1812, nationalism increased, contributing to the industrialization of the country overnight. Textile mills and other factories sprang up and many people became employed. The era from 1815 to 1860 represented a major shift from agrarianism to industrialism. Its effects were felt and transformed the entire nation but in different ways. The Market Revolution seemingly starkly contrasted the Northeast and Southern regions, but also brought them togethER.
