UNIVERSAL WHITE MALE SUFFRAGE
Between 1818-1821 more states extended voting rights to white males.
How would “regular folks” affect the presidential race?
MAP
BANK WAR
Jackson hated the Second Bank of the United States.
He felt it was a monopoly and the constitution never gave Congress the
authority to make it!
Eventually Jackson is able to make it into another state bank.
SPOILS SYSTEM
“to the victor belongs the spoils”
A spoil system is an informal
practice where a political party, after
winning an election, gives government
jobs to its voters as a reward for
working toward victory.
NULLIFICATION
Federalism???
Calhoun (VP) thought that a state could nullify or reject any law
passed by Congress if the state felt if violated the Constitution or if
it would not be in the best interest of the state.
South Carolina declared a tariff law null and void and threatened
to secede because of it.
Jackson sends in the military and Calhoun quits!
 Why would it be dangerous to allow states to nullify federal laws?
INDIAN REMOVAL
“Five civilized tribes” – Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, and Creek
1830 Indian Removal Act – Relocation of these nations to an area west of the
Mississippi River called Indian Territory (Oklahoma). P247

REFORM MOVEMENT
“Separate Spheres” Concept
Republican Motherhood evolved
into the “Cult of Domesticity”
 A woman’s “sphere” was in the home (it was a
refuge from the cruel world outside).
 Her role was to “civilize” her husband and
family.
 An 1830s MA minister:
The power of woman is her dependence. A woman
who gives up that dependence on man to become a
reformer yields the power God has given her for her
protection, and her character becomes unnatural!
