SLAVES
The Westward Expansion happened because the farmers wanted their own land. The farmers moved west to farm their own land..
Owners of the slaves used to treat the slaves with no respect. The masters would wip them if they were doing a bad job at the fields. The masters would also chain them up like picture to the left.
Jacksonian Democracy
The Jacksonian Democracy was the era of the common man. Man became eligible to vote and a large number of men were doing so. Political parties, which the framers of the Constitution made no provision for, became an established fact of American life.
