- [Instructor] When we talk about the big

of Jacksonian democracy is one of the most

influential aspects of
early 19th century culture,

Well, I wanna make the
argument to you that

Jacksonian democracy was really the birth

lots of practices emerged
that are still with us today.

Even some aspects of
American political character

that are still with us today
emerged in this time period

So in this series on Jacksonian democracy,

Well, in the very early era
of American political life

and I'm talking here from
approximately 1790 to about 1820,

and these men were kind
of considered to be,

They were the quintessential
citizens of a republic

and along with that came a certain amount

In between George Washington
and Andrew Jackson,

every single person
who served as president

in the first couple of
years of the republic.

that there could be too much
democracy, shall we say,

that even though the United
States was a democracy,

many of the founders of the United States

worried about the tyranny of the majority,

that they had set up this
democratic experiment

but they were afraid of having
just too many people voting

They worried that if you didn't
have a stake in the country,

either in terms of land
or in terms of wealth,

then you wouldn't have
the proper investment

So in the early years
of the United States,

So really, a quite small
proportion of the overall populous

in some northern states,
both free people of color,

because they met the requirements
for property ownership,

these ideals of democracy
began to catch on more and more

and as new states joined The
Union, like Ohio and Illinois,

saying that all white
male citizens could vote,

So in this time period,
white male citizenship

and some of the other
states began to rewrite

their state constitutions
to grant the vote

to all white males and it
probably won't surprise you

they managed to take
out the little loophole

So by the end of this
period, in the 1850s,

all property requirements for
voting had been eliminated

in the United States had the right to vote
