Jacksonian Democracy: The Rise of the Common Man—and the Cost

Andrew Jackson's era expanded democracy for white men—while violently displacing Native Americans and deepening racial inequality. In this episode, we explore Jacksonian Democracy, the Bank War, the Nullification Crisis, Indian Removal, and the rise of the Whig Party. What did this era really mean for America—and whose voices were left out of the story?
