Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jacksonian democracy did not involve the extension of voting rights to blacks, Indians, or women. In fact, Jackson himself was a slave owner and did not support extending voting rights to these groups. Instead, Jacksonian democracy emphasized the importance of white male suffrage and the common man's role in politics. It was not until the Civil War and Reconstruction periods that significant progress was made in extending voting rights to these marginalized groups.
