First sentence: The central question of the Jacksonian period in American history in my view does not focus upon slavery or western migration or the development of an industrial society-however important those questions might be-but rather upon how and by what means the United States became a democracy, upon the manner in which the doctrines of democracy replaced the doctrines of republicanism.
