Democracy in America

In what year did Tocqueville travel to America?

I think it might be 1830-31

Okay, I got the same date too. I know it's Wikipedia but this seems to check out in another reference as well, "In 1831, he obtained from the July Monarchy a mission to examine prisons and penitentiaries in America."
