“with the democratization (small “d’) of the Jacksonian, the extension of franchise would have not taken place”

It had happened pretty much everywhere before the Jacksonian era; Jackson’s success was a result, not a cause. One exception was Rhode Island which had a small civil war in the 1840s over the issue of the expansion of the franchise. (Type “Thomas Dorr” into a search engine and you will be horrified at what you find.)
