Detailed explanation-1: -Jackson dominated in the South and the West, aided in part by the passage of the Tariff of 1828. With the ongoing expansion of the right to vote to most white men, the election marked a dramatic expansion of the electorate, with 9.5% of Americans casting a vote for president, compared with 3.4% in 1824.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Battle of New Orleans made Andrew Jackson a hero and helped him win the presidency in 1828. This battle helped in the War of 1812, a series of conflicts between the United States and the United Kingdom. The Battle of New Orleans occurred on January 8, 1815 and resulted in an American victory.
Detailed explanation-3: -As national politics polarized around Jackson and his opposition, two parties grew out of the old Republican Party–the Democratic Republicans, or Democrats, adhering to Jackson; and the National Republicans, or Whigs, opposing him.
