Annie Hawkins p.1 FRQ The Jacksonian Era was a time described otherwise as the era of the ?Common Man?. In contrast to the previous Jeffersonian Era, the general movement was towards expansion. Jackson worked to increase the size and influence of the government, and also to make the general public more involved in government matters. There was also a strong leaning towards reform, and movements were common, especially in terms of labor. The difference between the rich and the poor, which had been steadily increasing, began to grow shorter, and the middle class increased in number. Jackson was a strong advocate for the working class, and made laws concerning the middle class. During the Jacksonian era, steps toward universal suffrage, expansion, and equal rights started to happen.
