crats may be called their followers for they also based their ideology practically on the same idea of popular government. Furthermore, they stood on the ground of strengthening executive branch of power. As a result, some specialists blame them that they concentrated too much power in hands of executive branch that was certainly a definite threat to the democracy. As for their leaders, Andrew Jackson he was a very active political player, for instance in the war of 1812 he won several significant battles that certainly added him popularity among average people and consequently he had to build his policy in favor of deprived poeple who were his main supporters.Naturally, Jacksonian democrats had a strong opposition, particularlyIN historical terms American society is quite young and relatively new but despite this fact it has already become the subject of numerous studies and researches. Its progress really impressive if we have a look at the starting point and the first decades or even the first century of the formation of independent American society. Probably, it was the most important period of time in American history because exactly at this period of time the basis for the future US society had started to form. That is why in my work I would try to briefly analyze the main events and trends of this epoch that included so many historically important and I would say defining the future events. Naturally, the most important of them were the inception of the constitution, then the following civil war that undoubtedly defined the future of the United States of America, and finally the reconstruction that aimed at the recovering of American society from the consequences of the civil war.

Probably, it was exactly at this time when the American nation, American society had started to become a whole and indivisible unity. Nowadays there are many arguments about those events that took place in the first century of the existence of American society. Some specialist estimate it was the epoch of great progress and the changes were mainly positive, but, on the other hand, there are some experts who believe that American society could evaluate quicker and, if it is possible to say, better. So, I would try to find out who of them are right and to what extent. First of all, I would like to start with the engendering and development of Jacksonian democracy. Actually, Jacksonian democracy was created at the relatively short period between two wars and to a certain extent it was the result of the growing contradictions and tension between upper and lower classes of American society. In my opinion, the creation of the Jacksonian democracy was a demand of time. Andrew Jackson and Jacksonians believed that the concentration of power in hands of only a few the most powerful representatives of the American society was unfair in relqtion to the major pqrt of American citizens, i don’t even mention slaves who were in a desparate position and practically had no rights. We may name the precursors of Jacksonian democrats Jeffersonian republicans whose leader Thomas Jefferson practically blackmailed France and threatened to make an alliance with Britain if France refused to sell Louisiana to the USA. Naturally, Napoleon had to agree adn it resulted in the famous Louisiana purchase which cost 15 million dollars to the USA.

But asfor Jeffersonian republicans and their internal affairs, it is necessary to underline that they were for the so-called popular government that strongly contradicted to traditional British monarchy that reigned in the whole empire including the US untill the War on Independence. At this point the Jacksonian democrats may be called their followers for they also based their ideology practically on the same idea of popular government. Furthermore, they stood on the ground of strengthening executive branch of power. As a result, some specialists blame them that they concentrated too much power in hands of executive branch that was certainly a definite threat to the democracy.

The latter opposed Jacksonian ideas about the decreaing of the role of banks controlled by few but richest people that the Whig tended to sustain. Furthermore, they tried to increase the role of state banks to keep the balance within the financial system of the US. As for positive aspects of Jacksonians’ policy, we may say that they contributed greatly to the development of the democracy, they stood for the equality of american citizens. However, the oponents of Jacksonians may indicate that their policy was not as democratic as they proclaimed because it did not provide the real equality for all poeple on the contrary, native americans and slaves were severely deprived that makes it impossible to speak about the universality of Jacksonian democracy. As for their external policy they were nationalists, they attempted to expand the US and dominate in the North America and Caribean region. thus, generally, speaking, Jacksonians were partially poplitical propagandist who fromally struggled for equality and for well being of average people, they also were strict constitutionalists and wanted to sustain the unifying power of teh constitution, but on the other hand their democracy was limited and their constitutionalism was ‘forgotten’ when they strengthened the executive branch of power.

However, the changes in american society influenced not only religion but political and social life as well. It is worth noting that was marked by so-called the second great awakening. Unlike the great awakening of the first half of the 18th century, the second great awakening was less emotional and quieter. As i have already said it concerned practically al spheres of life of the American society of that time. So, what happende than within the american society and its religious beliefs? First of all, traditional christian beliefs that europeans brought to America had been changed completely. The most significan trole played different protestant movements, among which the most famous and the most influential became the Evangelists, the Mormons and the Seventh Day Adventists. By the end of the second awakening the most powerful religious organizations were Presbitarian, Baptists and Methodists but they did not destory their rivals that were much stronger before but they simply multiply the religious confessions of the USA. All these movements had change the US society greatly. Firstly, in the religious dimension, the worship became more democratic and closer to ordinary poeple who, in their turn felt themselves closer to their God.

As the Catholic priests in the Medieval Europe were the most educated people who possessed knowledge and spread it among people so the representatives of different denominations were not only religious people but they also were educators, very cultural and educated poeple who helped other in different situations. One of the most outstanding represent
