During the time of President Andrew Jackson, the group in the United States that gained suffrage were white male citizens who did not own property. Prior to Jackson's presidency, voting rights were often restricted to white male property owners. However, Jackson's presidency marked a shift towards a broader democracy and expansion of suffrage rights, often referred to as Jacksonian Democracy.
During the time of President Andrew Jackson, white male suffrage expanded in the United States. Prior to this period, suffrage was generally limited to white male property owners. However, under Jackson's presidency, property ownership requirements were abolished in many states, allowing more white males to vote regardless of their wealth or property status. This expansion of suffrage aimed to increase political participation and empower the common man, a key principle of Jacksonian democracy.
