Jackson was seen as a representative of the "common man." He was from the Western frontier and was a self-made man. The first six presidents were all from the Eastern establishment, all wealthy, all founding fathers (or the son of a founding father), and except for Washington, all educated in the best schools of their day.
It was also a new time when political voting and forms of politics where changing.
It was the first election in which national parties and national campaigns played a major role in the election of the President.

Why was the caucus replaced by the convention as a nominating device?
Background: The presidential election of 1828 has been called the 'rise of the common man' election. The election was also nicknamed the 'Revolution of 1828'. It was a revolution that was in response to the 'Corrupt Bargain' of 1824 election when Jackson lost his bid for presidency when no candidate got a majority of the electoral votes. Reason: Replacing Caucuses (held in private) with Conventions was more democratic. This was a response by the people as an upwelling of support arose against 'back room deals' and candidates chosen by caucus without enough public input. Significance: Andrew Jackson was the first president not born of privilege. The election was the first time that individuals began to fight against corruption in politics.
