what year did the age of jackson begin
At Andrew Jackson's 1828 inauguration, hundreds of bearded, buckskin-clad frontiersmen trashed the White House while celebrating the election of one of their own to the Presidency. Though born in South Carolina, Jackson, like many others, had moved to the frontier. Indeed, America was a country on the move west. On July 4, 1826, less than two years before King Andrew ascended to the throne, the Yankee John Adams and the aristocratic Virginian Thomas Jefferson both passed away.
