That was until white settlers wanted to expand by taking over Native American land. The Worcester v. Georgia Supreme Court was a discussion of the Cherokee’s land. Andrew Jackson and the Supreme Court differed on the Cherokee’s claims of their lands. According to Document B; “John Marshall has made his decision… now let him enforce it”, John Marshall was supporting the Cherokees to keep their lands. This quote refers to Jackson ignoring John Marshall’s ruling and sending troops anyways. In 1830, Congress

Jackson did not serve for the people of America, Jackson served to change America how he believe it should be run. By ignoring the government Jackson acts more like a king than a president. Jackson went against Supreme Court decision and removed Indians from their land. As Jackson said in his Second Annual Message to Congress Jackson commented that, “the removal of the Indians beyond the white settlements is approaching to a happy consummation” (Doc E). Indians on the land that Jackson forcibly removed them from was delegated as their land by the Supreme Court. By going against the Supreme Court, Jackson did not act presidentially. Also, The removal of Indians resulted in countless Indian deaths and resulted in violence. Another example of Jackson attending to his own agenda was the issue of nullification and South Carolina. Jackson had a personal bias against John C. Calhoun, and threatened him when Calhoun exclaimed that South Carolina would leave the union if Jackson didn’t allow South Carolina to lower or rid of the tariff on imported

Andrew Jackson’s presidency has been viewed in two different ways. He has been viewed as a hero to the common man or as a tyrant who abused his power as president.

The election of 1824 was not good one for Jackson. He won the popular vote, but did not have enough electoral votes.

Henry Clay did not want Jackson to be President, so he threw his support to Adams. Which resulted in Adams being elected the sixth president of the

Andrew Jackson’s presidency made him one of the most controversial presidents that has ever existed in the history of the United States of America. Andrew Jackson for many was a cruel tyrant who reinstated the tax on British goods with Tariff of 1828 and rejected the renewal of the charter for the Second National Bank of the United States.

Those who oppose Andrew Jackson being the champion of the common man cite that Andrew Jackson abused his executive power of enforcing the law and the presidential veto. Andrew Jackson was misguided with some of the actions he made during his presidency, but he committed those actions because he thought they would help the common U.S. citizen.

The Indian Removal Act signed by the president of the United States, Andrew Jackson, caused controversy and the brutal and merciless suffering of the Native Americans during The Trail of Tears.

He is one of the most unfit men I know of for the place…He is a dangerous man.” This is how a backwoods boy became the face of the people when the American people needed it most while the common man was becoming more powerless every day.
