Yes. The Democratic Party begun by Jackson was supported by practically everybody in the Western frontier and most of the South.
In the 1700's small farmers were pushed out due to large farmers growing cash crops such as cotton, tobacco and sugar as opposed to subsistence farming. Large farmers created a situation where small farmers could either become tenant farmers or leave the farming industry all together.
The organization led by Frank Burkitt that aimed to assist small farmers was the National Farmers Union (NFU). Founded in the early 20th century, the NFU sought to advocate for the rights and interests of small-scale farmers, providing them with resources, education, and a collective voice in agricultural policy. Its efforts focused on improving economic conditions and promoting sustainable farming practices for small farmers across the United States.
The party started by workers and small farmers in the 1890s in response to the power of big business was the Populist Party, also known as the People's Party. Formed in 1892, it aimed to represent the interests of agrarian workers and sought reforms such as the regulation of railroads, the establishment of a graduated income tax, and the direct election of senators. The Populist Party emerged as a response to economic hardships and inequalities faced by these groups during the Gilded Age.
The party that included small farmers, crafts workers, and some wealthy planters was the Democratic-Republican Party, founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the early 19th century. This party emerged in opposition to the Federalists and sought to represent agrarian interests and promote a more decentralized government. It championed the rights of the average citizen and advocated for policies that benefited rural and working-class Americans.
