'''5.''' When both the middle and low classes of voters prefer a certain candidate, even if the upper class does not, it's called a Jacksonian Democracy. The reason for this is because before Andrew Jackson became president he lived in a literal log cabin. When he was inagurated Jackson allowed the public into the White House, even allowing them to stand on chairs with their muddy boots.

'''H5)''' Slavery not only suppressed freedom of speech, but freedom of living their lives as they wanted. Slaves were so low on the scale of human ranks that even if they did have the freedom to speak as they wished they would either be scorned, ridiculed, or simply ignored. Even after they were freed it was difficult to find people who would actually listen with an open mind.
Much like Christians today. Even though America still allows Christians to be and do what they want, very few people listen to them without prejudice. For example, on something so simple (or not so simple depending on how it's viewed) as Yahoo! Answers there is a section on religion. Most of that section is taken up by topics on how Christians aren't tolerant, how absolutely ridiculous Christianity is and so on. There's a smattering of other religions on there, but I have yet to see one "bashed". It doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but it appeares to be much less common then for Christianity.
Christians in modern America obviously have more rights then newly freed slaves, but when the topic turns to religion many listening ears will turn to stone unless the person speaking is saying something in agreeance to the "common belief".
