Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Explain that the Democratic Party championed the rights of white men and territorial expansion and was responsible for the forced westward relocation of the Cherokees and other southeastern Indian peoples.
2. Explain that the Democratic Party's outlook toward African Americans demonstrated racism and exclusion.
3. Point out that Democrats supported the territorial expansion of slavery as a state's right and private property issue for white people.
4. Conclude that Democrats championed the rights of slaveholders as a democratic ideal.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Explain that the Second Great Awakening increased Christian piety in the U.S., leading to a social reform movement.
2. Note that Evangelicals emphasized practical Christianity. Those who were truly among the saved, they maintained, must through their deeds oppose sin and save others.
3. Discuss that Black evangelicals, in particular, called for a liberating faith applied in ways that advanced material and spiritual well-being.
4. Discuss that this emphasis on action led during the 1810s and 1820s to the Benevolent Empire, a network of church-related organizations.
5. Conclude that the Benevolent Empire launched what is now known as antebellum or Jacksonian reform.
6. Conclude that because women were churchgoers and embodied the values of family, they became active as reformers, forming voluntary associations to fix the ills of America, including women's rights reform.
