Question

Which of the following groups thought of Andrew Jackson as their champion? Question 1 options: A .merchants in New England B. Native Americans in the North C.common people across the country D. wealthy planters in the South

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C.common people across the country

Whereas past presidents grew political power through family background, landed wealth in the initial thirteen colonies, and education, Jackson’s humble background in Tennessee turned his climb to the presidency a compelling metaphor for the self-reliance of the common man.

As well, during his presidency, white men without land attained the right to vote, and consequently more political power.
