This election is a captivating object of my fascination indeed. We are faced with the possibilities of two different paths, a sort of two-forked river of our future as a nation. On one hand, we have a future full of economic collapse, moral decay, monarchical government and political unrest, on the other, lies a brighter future, a more American future. Andrew Jackson is the right choice, and is far more deserving of the commander-in-chief position than his utter failure of an opponent, who hath failed us enough already. We the American people are sickened by Quincy's leadership, and we demand a dramatic change. Firstly, Andrew Jackson is a man of the people, a common man. This is favorable to Quincy, for the reason
It is clear from the documents that Andrew Jackson acted like a king/tyrant. One reason that Andrew Jackson acted like a king was because he didn't listen to congress and he went against the U.S. Constitution. Document four stated that he sent soldiers to force Native Americans out of their homes at gunpoint and into stockades. After a few months of living in the stockades, the soldiers forced the Native Americans into the Indian territory called Oklahoma.
Opinions are controversial, period; but when you mix politics in it, it gets messy. Andrew Jackson might have thought some his decisions wise, but ended up being the opposite, or vise-versa. My thoughts on Andrew Jackson are: I was in favor of some things he did, but others not so much. When you work in politics, you honestly can’t make everyone happy, so I couldn’t expect Jackson to be perfect.
A man of the people, a hero, and a fighter for his beliefs, Andrew Jackson is the emobidment of democracy itself. Although there is great debate in regards to Jackson's presidency, it would only be fair that due to his actions he should be uphead as one of America's greatest presidents. Jackson had a very strong opposition to the Second National Bank of the United States and for that reason he vetoed the renewal of 1832. His reasons were both political and economic. On the political side he believed that "shareholders used the bank's control of much of the money supply to benefit themselves.
Andrew Jackson was the Seventh President of the United States of America (Waxhaw, South Carolina, 1767 - Nashville, Tennessee, 1845). This son of Irish immigrants fought very young in the War of Independence of the United States, in which he lost his entire family. After leading a disorderly youth life, in which he exercised the most diverse offices, he studied law in North Carolina and marched to make his fortune to the West frontier, establishing himself in Nashville as a lawyer. Andrew Jackson There he took a real estate estate, joined the local high society, held important positions (as prosecutor and judge) and participated in the convention of 1796 that proposed and got the formation of the State of Tennessee as the sixteenth State
Andrew Jackson was incredibly wealthy, he owned a plantation with many slaves. He was one of the wealthiest in America. He had very humble origins where as he was a frontiersman from the back country, born and raised in a cabin in Tennessee. The thing that made him more liked was that he extended voting to nearly all white males. This extended his perception that he cared about people and wanted more voices to be heard.
The one who made that change Andrew Jackson was a new type of president that made him different from his successors. Jackson movements to make the opinion of the people matter, he made more connections with the people that another president from the past. Jackson was a different president because he was not elected for his knowledge, but for his brave actions, and popularity in the states. Even though Andrew Jackson won popular vote in 1824, he was not elected president. He was a new kind of president that cared for the people, and not becoming president showed him that something had to be changed.
During the 1800’s, Andrew Jackson ran and won presidency in 1828 “(class notes/recorded notes, chapter 11)”. People wondered if Jackson would be a good president after winning presidency in 1828. Jackson became the seventh president in the United States and is known to be a man of contradictions “(class notes/recorded notes, chapter 11). Jackson was Anti-Black and Anti-Indian “(class notes/recorded notes, chapter 11)”. Jackson had no certain event but rather a candidate of a separation “(class notes/recorded notes, chapter 11)”.
Andrew Jackson, an American lawyer, general, and statesman who served as the seventh president of the United States from 1829 to 1837 was viewed as a war hero and was praised for it, people thought of him as a democratic figure in society. But I think otherwise. Andrew Jackson had claimed various times that he would listen to and benefit his citizens so they can be “free” and be treated “fair”, yet, he did not take his word. And instead of helping his citizens, he mostly only benefited himself. So, here is my perspective on Andrew Jackson and how he wasn’t that Democratic as people come to believe.
The presidency of Andrew Jackson, from 1829 to 1837, has been widely regarded as a pivotal period in our American history, marked by both popular admiration and fierce opposition. During the election of 1828, Jackson’s legacy as the “Champion of the Common Man'' to protect the rights of the common people against the elitists resonated with the increasing democracy of many Americans. Jackson’s actions as president, however, sparked controversy from his opponents who only saw a tyrant monarch set to harm the constitutional order. While acknowledging the positive aspects Jackson made to his legacy, the negative consequences on the common man posed a challenge to the development of an equitable society. The Jacksonian Era, denoted by its mixed
The era of Andrew Jackson which was nicknames the era of the “common man” certainly lived up to its name. As the seventh President of the United States, Jackson had a major effect on the life of the common man, in such a way that the life of the common man would never be the same again. Jackson’s aim, after the manner in which he was defeated in the Presidential Election of 1824, despite receiving more popular votes than John Quincy Adams who took on the office, was to reduce the power and the authority of the elite. When he came into power after the 1828 election Jackson began to carry out his proposals. Jackson expanded the voting right to all men, in accordance with the Declaration of Independence of 1776 which declared that “all men are created equal” instead of just the elite.
As the seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson had a significant presidency that is still debated about today. Andrew Jackson’s legacy is tarnished by his treatment of slaves, removal of Native Americans with the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and the political turmoil involving his cabinet. Despite this, Andrew Jackson is ranked among the top ten presidents because his presidency significantly shaped the United States. From a very young age, Andrew Jackson was a patriot at heart and fought for his country. During the Revolutionary War, young Andrew Jackson was a messenger boy who delivered letters and messages through the dense woods of the Carolinas to the American troops.
Andrew Jackson was seen as a common man the voice of the people by some. By others he was King Andrew, trampling the constitution and instigating tyranny. Jackson’s presidency impacted democracy, through his use of the veto power, and his claim of Clay creating a “corrupt bargain”, which is not a turning point for a rise in democracy despite him giving white male suffrage. During Jackson’s use of executive power weakened voice of the people.
Because of these infringements on the rights of the people, Andrew Jackson was not a champion of the common man; the nickname “King Andrew,” from his opponents was accurate. When he was elected president, Andrew Jackson felt that he needed to remove John Quincy Adams’ appointees from office. To him, the clear answer was to replace them with his own followers and friends, creating a government where only one political party was effectively represented by presidential appointments. This use of the spoils system put people who were not qualified in powerful positions simply as a reward for supporting Jackson. He also had thirteen unofficial members in his cabinet to advise him.
Andrew Jackson’s presidency marked a change for United States Presidents as he was a self made man and a man of the people. Many citizens supported both his inauguration and his presidency, but there were some opposed to his ruling as well. Jackson’s goal as a President was to help the people, but in the end he provided the country with sectionalism, instead of nationalism. His controversial rule promoted division through ‘The Tariff of Abominations’, favoritism, and the collapse of the economy.
