The Jacksonians attempted to gain supporters in the South, West, and North. This was the way the Jefferson Republicans had been able to defeat Adams. The Jacksonians also claimed they represented the "common man" and depicted their opponents as the party of the rich and privileged. That was not really true because there were members in all social classes in most major parties. The Jacksonians did score one by appealing to democratic values which seemed to be missing in the infamous "corrupt bargain." Jacksonian democracy was influenced by the west and many of the restrictions placed on voters soon were being replaced or done away with completely. The west was an area where a person was judged by his independence and ability, not by his social status. That influenced the thinking of those calling themselves Jacksonian Democrats.
