• Political cartoons date back as early as 1748, originally started as just pictures or “caricatures” of the political candidates. It was during Jackson’s campaign that the Political cartoons became more suggestive and became popular. Used for several reasons including incriminating inclinations about opposing candidates, taking complicated issues down to their basic message making it easier for the voters, and just as a comical entertainment tool political cartoons - they later became paramount in the political process. The most significant result of the political cartoons as they relate to Andrew Jackson was the inception of the Donkey to represent the Democratic Party. “When Andrew Jackson ran for president in 1828, his opponents tried to label him a “jackass” for his populist views and his slogan, “Let people rule.”.” Remarkably, even with these beginnings, the depiction remains to this day.
