Jackson also believed in the manifest destiny, which is where the United States wanted to take up all the land in the US. That meant that they were going to move all the native americans even more to somewhere else so they could have the land for their own benefits. The US wanted the land so they could expand US territory. That meant that the US would get more land that they could make money off of and get the resources that is on that land.

Andrew Jackson was a man of action not of philosophy people say. He once was a slave owner before his presidency years. He took up the matter of slavery in only a political aspect. America was supposed to be a land of the free, and yet we have slaves. On July 5, 1852 people gathered in New York to here a speech about Independence Day by an African American former slave Fredrick Douglas. He blamed Andrew Jackson for the spread of slavery in America. He saw him as a hypocritical politician and a hypocritical American. Jackson transformed millions of acres of land that Indians lived on (Indian removal act) in the south into cotton plantations. This probably would have happened without Jackson but he was the heart of this whole idea in making plantations for slaves to work on. Now if he was the man he says he is why would he want more land for African Americans to work on?

The speaker of the House was, ironically, none other than Henry Clay. Clay and Adams made a deal behind closed doors that basically gave the presidency to Adams, in return for the secretary of state position be given to Clay.

Jackson vetoed the usage of federal money to construct the Marysville Road, since it included Kentucky, the home state of Jackson’s political opponent, Henry Clay. Parties, rivalries, and ideas of Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson were similar to Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton’s and their era. All of the previous presidents had set a two-term precedent. Jackson followed the tradition and did not pursue a third term. These demonstrate examples of the continuity through his

Jackson had become a legislator when George Washington was leaving office and John Adams was coming in. In the house, Jackson displayed his disapproval to Washington’s foreign policies, and the treaties made with the Indians. Due to his negative view of the former president, he was considered as disrespectful. Though the people back home supported Jackson on his acts such as the bill that he introduced to reimburse Tennessee for losses in its war with the Cherokee. With the support of his people, Jackson was then elected as a senator for Tennessee. Most agreed that Jackson was too young, too inexperienced, and often distracted by his own personal business affairs.

Where a child is born becomes part of them, they have memories, family, and love; when a home is ripped from under you these become distant. Andrew Jackson helped tear a deeply rooted and sacred home away from thousands of Native people in the 1800’s and is still affecting current generations of the uprooted tribes. Also, owning slaves brings him lower; he did not see every human being equally, people different than him were lesser. He believed he was helping but sadly more were harmed than planned including citizens. If the government listens and considers what the people have to say this is a democracy, and Andrew Jackson did not do this. He was undemocratic because of Native American removal and slave ownership.

He was born in South Carolina, the son of Irish immigrants, and became an orphan by the age of fourteen. While serving in the Revolutionary War, he was caught by British soldiers and struck with a sword by an officer, leaving a scar that would last a lifetime. Almost forty years later when running for President, Jackson emphasized putting the ideals of the average American person (like himself) first. Consequently, when the charter for the Bank of the United States (BUS), had to be renewed, Jackson was not eager to proceed. The charter allowed the bank to stay in business. Jackson believed that the bank only loaned money to the wealthy therefore neglecting poorer farmers. Congress passed the law for the charter and Jackson vetoed it, meaning he rejected the law and did not want to enforce it. Jackson claimed that he vetoed the law because it was "unconstitutional". In a workbook chapter titled, "The Age of Jackson", an excerpt states, "President Jackson disliked the bank...He felt that the bank's policies favored the wealthy people and hurt the average person...He vetoed Congresses renewal of the bank charter...He said the

What was Andrew Jackson’s problem with the 2nd U.S. Bank? At first he was concerned with the Bank’s constitutionality but it eventually evolved into a quest to kill the Bank. When the Bank first started out it was given $35,000,000 and by the time Andrew Jackson became President the Bank was run by Nicholas Biddle. Daniel Webster and Henry Clay had to file for the Bank to be chartered again. When Andrew Jackson heard this he said to his Vice President “The Bank is trying to kill me sir, but I shall kill it!” (Andrew Jackson) His reasons behind his hate for the bank were a combination of his past financial problems, his Tennessee roots and his view on states’ rights. For letting his past experiences get the better of him he
