Rövid leírás:
The 1828 presidential election, which was contested by Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams, has long been viewed as a watershed moment in American political history. For historian Frederick Jackson Turner, Jackson's victory symbolized the ascendancy of Jacksonian frontier values over the privileged eastern urban elitism that Adams embodied. Arthur Schlesinger modified Turner's view, seeing Jackson as a symbol of working-class Americans in their struggle against the business
community. Although the Turner-Schlesinger triumphalist viewpoint has come under attack by any number of historians and political scientists, the pivotal nature of the election of 1828 has never been challenged.
In this new volume in the Pivotal Moments in American History series, Lynn Parsons will show that Jackson's victory was indeed critical and defining in a number of ways. It foreshadowed the ethnic alliances and regional loyalties that would be established for at least the next quarter of a century and signaled the emergence of two reasonably defined political ideologies that would dominate the national landscape at least until the eve of the Civil War. It also marked the emergence of mass
political parties and was another milepost in the decline of deferential politics in America. From then on, an elite educational or social background, fluency in other languages, and possession of an introspective rather than an activist mindset would be qualities held in suspicion by the electorate. Yet
as Parsons shows, the outcome of the election was hardly foreordained, and the book traces the course of the election, revealing how at certain moments it could easily have gone another way.

The 1828 presidential election, which pitted Major General Andrew Jackson against incumbent John Quincy Adams, has long been hailed as a watershed moment in American political history. It was the contest in which an unlettered, hot-tempered southwesetern frontiersman, trumpeted by his supporters as a genuine man of the people, soundly defeated a New England "aristocrat" whose education and political résumé were as impressive as any ever seen in American public life. It
was, many historians have argued, the country's first truly democratic presidential election. Lynn Hudson Parsons argues that it also established a pattern in which two nationally organized political parties would vie for power in virtually every state. During the election of 1828 voters were introduced to a
host of novel campaign tactics, including co-ordinated media, get-out-the-vote efforts, fund-raising, organized rallies, opinion polling, campaign paraphernalia, ethnic voting blocs, "opposition research," and smear tactics.
In The Birth of Modern Politics, Parsons shows that the Adams-Jackson contest began a national debate that is eerily contemporary, pitting those whose cultural, social, and economic values were rooted in community action for the common good against those who believed the common good was best served by giving individuals as much freedom as possible to promote their own interests. It offers fresh and illuminating portraits of both Adams and Jackson and reveals how, despite their
vastly different backgrounds, they had started out with many of the same values, admired one another, and had often been allies in common causes. Both were staunch nationalists, and both shared an aversion to organized parties and "electioneering."
But by 1828, caught up in a shifting political landscape, they were plunged into a competition that separated them decisively from the Founding Fathers' era and ushered in a style of politics that is still with us today.
