Age of Jackson
Andrew Jackson's presidency marked the rise of Jacksonian Democracy and a new kind of politics in America. Sectionalism was increasing as the interests of the North, South, and West diverged. The Missouri Compromise temporarily resolved debates over the expansion of slavery. Jackson's election in 1828 represented a shift as more common people were able to vote. As president, Jackson enacted the spoils system and removed Native Americans from their lands, leading to the tragic Trail of Tears. The Nullification Crisis and battle over the Second Bank of the United States demonstrated ongoing conflicts over states' rights and federal power.

Hoover responded to the Great Depression by pledging the worst was over and promoting public works projects by states, but refused to increase federal spending or provide direct relief. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation provided loans to businesses but it was too small to make a difference. The Emergency Relief and Construction Act gave loans to states for relief but it also came too late and was too small. As the Depression worsened, public anger at Hoover grew as people organized hunger marches, farmers burned crops, and "Hoovervilles" sprung up. The violent response to the Bonus Army further damaged Hoover's popularity ensuring he would not be reelected in 1932.

Herbert Hoover was elected in 1928 promising continued prosperity. A long bull market in stocks contributed to his victory, but the market was overvalued with many stocks bought on margin and through rampant speculation.

Bank failures soon followed as banks had invested in stocks and lost money, cutting off credit to businesses and consumers. The roots of the Depression included an uneven distribution of wealth, reliance on consumer goods, and few exports, leaving the economy vulnerable.
