Jackson era/杰克逊时代

This book delves into the era of American President Andrew Jackson, exploring its beginnings and its impact on American history. From the Jefferson era to the Jackson era, the economic and industrial boom threatened the principles of American constitutional democracy. As the first Democratic president in American history and the first civilian president in American history, Andrew Jackson faced a series of challenges. During his tenure, he vigorously strengthened the power of the presidency, maintained the unity of the federation, achieved considerable political achievements, and created "Jacksonian democracy." The author analyzes the history, culture, economy and political life of the United States at that time, reinterprets "Jacksonian" democracy, and points out the dual crisis faced by progressive historiography.
