英语词汇jacksonian democracy etc的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Jacksonian democracy, etc. Jacksonism is the term for the political principles and policies advocated by Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, and his followers. Old Hickory, so called because he was as tough as hickory wood, commanded troops in the War of 1812. Elected to the presi- dency in 1829, General Jackson served two terms, espousing a widespread Jacksonian democracy while vigorously opposing nullification and the national Bank of the United States. His fa- mous “kitchen Cabinet,” the first of its kind, was simply a group of intimate advisers, and by adopting the “spoils system,” the granting of political jobs and favors to loyal supporters, he es- tablished a well-knit Democratic Party but intensified evils that were not removed until the Civil Service came into being half a century later. Jackson Day, January 8, is a legal holiday in Loui- siana, celebrating his victory at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. Jackson boots, crackers (firecrackers), hats, jackets, and trousers were all named after the hero, who died in 1845, aged 78. Today almost 100 places in the nation bear his name. Jack- sonia was the name of a new Southern state suggested by the Tennessee senate in 1841 that was to include parts of Tennes- see, Kentucky, and Mississippi. The proposal came to naught. See capitol.
