What social changes occurred during the Jacksonian Era?
A.
Black men gained more political power.
B.
Native Americans gained more political power.
C.
White women who owned land gained the right to vote.
D.
White men who did not own land gained the right to vote.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options and eliminate any that are incorrect.
A. Black men gaining more political power: During the Jacksonian Era, black men did not gain more political power. In fact, the era saw the expansion of slavery and the suppression of African Americans' rights.
B. Native Americans gaining more political power: Unfortunately, Native Americans also did not gain more political power during the Jacksonian Era. Instead, they experienced forced removal from their ancestral lands through policies such as the Indian Removal Act.
C. White women who owned land gaining the right to vote: This option is also incorrect. Although there were discussions about women's suffrage during this time, white women did not gain the right to vote until much later, with the suffrage movement starting to gain significant traction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
D. White men who did not own land gaining the right to vote: The correct answer is D. During the Jacksonian Era, there was a significant expansion of voting rights for white men who did not own land. This era saw the elimination of property ownership requirements for voting in many states, which meant that more white men gained the right to vote, regardless of their land ownership status.
In conclusion, the social change that occurred during the Jacksonian Era was that white men who did not own land gained the right to vote (option D).
