The Jacksonian era would mark a turning point in American politics, particularly regarding the power of the presidency. As we move forward in history, Rabbi Rocklin will answer the following questions:

  1. Why did the Democratic-Republican party split during Andrew Jackson's presidency?
  2. What was the primary goal of the newly formed Whig party? 
  3. How did the railroad help shift the American economy away from subsistence agriculture to commercial agriculture?
