Sure, he was a white guy – but he grew up all kinda poor, and lacked a formal education until early adulthood. The expansion of voting rights and other civic validity which allowed such a thing, and which continued to expand during and after his presidency, is even named after him: “Jacksonian Democracy.” It’s a trend of which we’re generally proud two centuries later. Maybe the “all men” created equal in 1776 were a fairly limited bunch, but over time we’ve stretched that to cover quite a variety of colors and socio-economic statuses. Heck, we even let girls vote now – that’s getting serious. ]]> https://bluecerealeducation.com/blog/sam-patch-two/feed/ 1 177 https://bluecerealeducation.com/blog/sam-patch-part-one/ https://bluecerealeducation.com/blog/sam-patch-part-one/#comments Thu, 23 Jul 2015 18:34:05 +0000 http://localhost:8888/bluecerealwp/blog/sam-patch-part-one/ Continue reading Sam Patch (Part One)]]> https://bluecerealeducation.com/blog/sam-patch-part-one/feed/ 1 176
