Introduction: Race, Politics, and Culture in the Age of Jacksonian 'Democracy'
2019
Overview
The essays in this forum mark the 250th anniversary of Andrew Jackson's birth by reassessing the meaning and legacy of \"Jacksonian Democracy.\" Some scholars have challenged this once-popular concept, while these contributors find that \"Jacksonian Democracy\" often combined the celebration of majority rule with racial supremacy for white men. Most Jacksonians sought power for white men while denying it to people of color, yet some promoted the interests of all laborers, including the enslaved, and granted citizenship and political rights to Native Americans. Racial democracy did not always function in straightforward ways. Jacksonian political culture also included distinct gender relations and household patriarchy, with mastery at home empowering white men in public. Jacksonian Democracy shaped more than politics, as Jacksonian notions of egalitarianism and democracy influenced religious, economic, and legal thought. This forum underscores the complexity of Jacksonian Democracy, a political ideology and a cultural worldview with a lasting legacy.
