A New Era in Politics: The 1820s and the Expansion of Voter Suffrage

Explore the transformative political landscape of the 1820s in America, characterized by a growing spirit of democracy and expansion of suffrage. During this era, more citizens, including white men moving west, gained political rights, driven by the frontier spirit. However, significant limits on suffrage remained for women, Native Americans, and most African Americans, who were denied political rights. The 1824 election, marked by a lack of clear winners and the controversial "Corrupt Bargain," set the stage for Andrew Jackson's ascent in the 1828 campaign, which emphasized personal rivalries over policy.
