THE COMMON MAN Andrew Jackson considered himself a spokesperson for the common man. The first six Presidents were from the same mold: wealthy, educated, and from the east. Jackson was a self-made man who declared education an unnecessary requirement for political leadership. As a military hero, a frontiersman, and a populist*, Jackson enchanted the common people and alarmed the political, social and economic elite. A Man of the People would now govern the nation *A member or adherent of a political party that represents the interests of ordinary people.
