4. Connection to Jacksonian Democracy: The Kitchen Cabinet was the name given to President Andrew Jacksons advisors, given it consisted of his friends and people of the middle class- a huge change from his predecessors cabinets. He gave a voice to the common people, instead of previous politically affiliated professionals. They made a difference. Following Jacksons term, people took more control and perceptions of roles in society changed. Similarly, the abolition movement was the rising of slaves, for liberation. Slaves and freedom fighters became active and made a difference by taking a stand, just as the Jacksonian Democracy. Not following conventional social and political rules.
