The Jackson Republican Party was a radical faction of the Democratic-Republican Party that coalesced around War of 1812 hero Andrew Jackson during the early 1820s, supporting his 1824 presidential bid.
This faction championed populism, advocating for the "common man." They supported greater democracy, expanded suffrage, and were more open to federal involvement in economic matters than the Crawford Republican Party, particularly in terms of infrastructure. They drew their support from a broad base that included Western settlers, urban workers, and Southern planters, appealing to those who felt disenfranchised by the elite. They had a significant following in the West and South, leveraging the populist appeal to gain support in rural areas. They pushed for policies that promoted democracy, including the elimination of property qualifications for voting, as well as land policies that favored Western expansion and settlement. After the 1824 presidential election, the Jackson and Crawford Republicans would merge to form the Jacksonian Party in opposition to the modernizing and centralizing Adams-Clay Republicans.
