Andrew Jackson's Running And Campaign
I argue that Andrew Jackson changed the way that politicians run and campaign and they way they portray themselves to the public eye. This paper will demonstrate this argument by showing how Andrew Jackson smothered his competition on his way into office. Andrew Jackson was the first to really build a campaign team of supports, which would later be called the Democratic Party. Some of his supports were skilled political organizers who worked to create a network of campaign committees, and organize events in Jackson’s behalf. Andrew Jackson also had a group of journalist and editors to write in new papers and things in support of him and also to put down the competition. Some found his tactics to being elected were dirty at the

    Despite the outcome I fully believe that the election of 1828 did in fact, create a democratic revolt of the people because of the social and political backlash that the election created. The election of Andrew Jackson as President in 1828 marked the beginning of an era known as Jacksonian Democracy or the Age of the Common Man. The changes in politics during Jackson's presidency provided various social and economic changes.…

    Furthermore, politically, Jackson put in place the spoils system where he took out many people voted into government office in favor of those who supported his own partisan views. This in itself was a very corrupt decision that eliminated many people from the government that were put into office by way of democracy and instead, Jackson put in place people based on party loyalty who were not necessarily qualified for their job in place of competence and likability by the…

    Andrew Jackson ‘s political style and interest in popular concerns constituted a challenge for those on the opposite side of the political spectrum in his time. Indeed, their reaction to his movement was to attack it, both rhetorically and through the formation of an entirely new political party: the Whig Party. For example, critiquing the rhetorical style of the Jacksonians, Adams wrote in his diary that they were “skunks of party slander.” Generally speaking, he viewed Jacksonian politics as less than palatable. After all, his disdain for Jackson was clearly evident in his decision to boycott Jackson’s accepting of an honorary degree from Harvard University in 1833.…

    When Jackson came to power in 1829 he promised much, advocating equality, democratic change, morality in government and true representation. However Jackson's success or failure as a president is shown by what he actually did. The thesis of this essay is that despite the variety of issues faced by Jackson he didn't actually bring about much change. This could be interpreted as failure but his legacy as a strong president, as a symbol of US democracy, and also the devotion of the people to him, does perhaps counter the failings. Failure might constitute not meeting one's promises but Jackson's ambiguity and inconsistency on many issues make it hard to judge his performance. I would not say he was completely successful or unsuccessful but rather advocate a mixture of both.…
