Hi I'm John Green this is crash-course US history and today after last week's bummer on slavery we turn to a happier topic the rise of democratization in the US this was also known as the age of Jackson note stand not that Jackson no no Stan come on seriously no no no no no no no no no no no no yes that Jackson Andrew Jackson Music sorry I just had to check my collar right so you'll recall that the initial democracy of the United States wasn't terribly democratic almost all voters were white male landowners mr. green mr. green that's just radically unfair exactly me from the past but between 1820 and 1850 this started to change state legislatures lowered or eltz eliminated the property qualifications for voting which allowed many more people to vote so long as they were you know both white and managed Remus green so I'd be in right yeah that seems reasonable yeah me from the past quick privilege check one of the reasons we study history is so that you can learn that people like you are not actually at the center of history even though you know you've been taught that but anyway the whole idea of owning land is a prerequisite for voting is sort of Jeffersonian an individual who works his own land can be truly independent because he doesn't need to rely upon markets to acquire stuff or god forbid wages to give him money with which to buy stuff no he makes his own stuff and he doesn't need anybody except for slaves and also women to make shoes and clothes and to cook food and also make children but in light of the market revolution the idea of excluding wage workers seemed to very outdated...
