"Despite the chaos, even the most dubious observers admitted that something “sublime” had occurred [...] There was no doubt that a new era of American democracy had begun. “It was the People’s day, and the People’s President, and the People would rule,” wrote Margaret Smith."
Nice account of the "The trashing of the White House that was Andrew Jackson's inauguration", at The Smart Set.
