The Whigs abandoned aristocracy to nominate a popular military leader in the 1840s, hoping thereby to out-democratize the Jacksonians. From without, white working-class males--facing a tighter, less-skilled job market and fearing their replacement by urban blacks--began to transform the republicanism of the Founders, which located "public political virtue" in "economic independence," into an ideology that celebrated citizenship in terms of those "who performed 'honest' work with their hands" (and thus, presaging Jacksonian white herrenvolk democracy, and the "free-labor" ideology of mid-century Republicans). Jacksonian populism requires that political leaders be responsive to the demands of the masses. |
