Jackson Rea The time between 1820 and 1830 was known as the Jacksonian Era. Jackson would have won the election in 1824, as he did have more votes, but Adams won due to a “corrupt bargain”. When Jackson was finally elected in 1828, he and his supporters claimed to represent the common man. Jackson served during a time when the North and South were bound to be engaged in internecine conflict. During the first half of the 19th century industrialism was growing rapidly with inventions such as the cotton gin, and the steamboat. Despite this prosperity, a split was becoming more apparent between the urban industrializing North, and the agricultural-dependent, rural South. During his terms, Jackson emphasized democracy, and increased suffrage tremendously.
