- Abstract
This article discusses the politics of past and progress in Jacksonian democracy. An ambivalent language of past and progress became an inherent part of political discourse in the 1820s-1840s, the period commonly referred to as the Jacksonian era in the U.S., as they were dominated by the presidency of Andrew Jackson. The partisan debates pitting the Democrats against the Whigs expressed themselves essentially in terms of economic progress. The Whigs favored a national and state-sponsored economic progress while the Democrats opposed government involvement in economic progress.
