If we did not fight, we would have been enslaved by the British. Which they would have taken the land that the united states taken and replace the U.S flag with the Union Jack flag. If they replaced the flag that stands for freedom and soon became the sign of peace, that is why I’m with what happens with the british. They impressed our ships and took the men that were on that ship. So they deserve whatever coming to them. There was a debate between the government if we should declare war or try to negotiate with them to see if they would return the men they took and the ships safely back to the U.S. But did that work nooo so we had to get our hands dirty, so we declared war on them.and right as we did so the british started to march through …show more content…
Andrew Jackson had this vibe when he ask people to join the cause which makes people not to say no but to say yes. The reason they were scared of Andrew Jackson is because they did not know what he was capable of so they joined wich I find very wrong to force someone to fight if they don’t want to, so if they don’t want to fight just leave them alone because they have family to take care of. But nooo Andrew Jackson could not leave them alone because he needed more men so if the fathers did not fight he would force the fathers and male children at the age 19-20 years old to go to war. It might have been wrong for the British to capture U.S boats and take the men aboard the ships and then take the supplies, that right there might mean that they need help and that they need more supplies to live.you might say that it’s wrong for them to do that but hey it was wrong for Andrew Jackson to force men and children to go to war . There could've been peace without this war but noooo,the government had to declare war on the British. So maybe those soldiers that died might have died in vain and they would never see their wives and the children would never get to see their friends or thie mothers again so the war was a mistake
Jackson became a war hero in the War of 1812. The War of 1812 was to stop British impressment and stop Indian attacks along the frontier.

Andrew Jackson, one of the many great presidents the United States has had. He is on the front of the twenty dollar bill so if must big important for some reason right? Jackson took America by surprise and really shook it up in office; he made some major changes like no more corruption, fixing the budget, and taking the national banks power away. This paper will go more in debt with these topics and the effects that they had on the nation and the presidency.
Many have different perspectives on if Andrew Jackson changed politics for the common man, or if it just happened to be a simple trend meant for greater voter participation. Although we may have different ideas I would have to say Andrew Jackson was like most presidents who had their own conflicts. He was just a president who kept somewhat of the same trend just did a couple different tricks.
Andrew Jackson's economic policies, including his views on banking during the mid-19th century had a rather large impact on the United States during the time. Jackson was a president who thought himself to be a protector of the "common man" and that certain rights and privileges should be enjoyed by every citizen. However, in attempting to doing so, Jackson's economic policies such as his veto against the National Bank, his use of "pet banks" to deposit government money instead of the National Bank, and the passing of the Specie Circular, created a government that was limited in every regard, resulting in great economic instability, contributing to the Panic of 1837. The Second Bank of the United States faced
Eighteen American citizens were killed. Britain had just passed the Orders in Council, which required neutral countries to obtain a license from its authorities before trading with France or French colonies.” The Royal Navy was stopping ships and demanding to search for deserters from their navy. The British government was claiming that only subjects of the Crown who were sailing under the American flag to avoid wartime service in their own navy were being removed; however, in fact, the British were seizing not only their own deserters, but also were taking a number of United States citizens with estimates suggesting that several thousand were taken. This event, and the fact that the Western farmers and settlers were crying out for war due to the Indians, placed the majority of the country in favor of war immediately.
President Andrew Jackson served as President of the United States from 1826 to 1837 and is looked at my many as one of the best presidents in American history. Jackson was a man without many limits and did what he wanted because he simply wanted to do it, not because it was necessarily the popular opinion or Constitutional. This caused a lot of problems, but also was very beneficial in making solutions to problems in the country. Although, as a result of this, many people saw him as a dictator-like tyrant and didn’t agree with his pandering towards the uneducated, more working class civilians during his campaign. President Jackson’s presidency was controversial as a result in debate over his political tactics as well as possibly overstepping his Constitutional boundaries when it came to the amount of power he exuded on the people; therefore, many people spoke out against his “uneducated followers” as well as his aggressive style while some evidence shows that these efforts were supported.

Throughout Andrew Jackson’s presidency, he sought to represent the common man, but in doing so has negatively affected the American people. Many of the decisions that Jackson made were thoughtful resolutions to complex conflicts that threatened to dismantle the Union. Though he resolved conflicts, the effects of his decisions were felt beyond their benefits. Decisions made by Andrew Jackson such as the veto of the Second National Bank, which was positive in theory but ultimately led to severe shortcomings economically, questioned the ideas of the Jacksonian Democrats. These Jacksonian Democrats were guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity for the most part; however, there were pitfalls with their ideas.
The changing nation reflected a growing sense of national pride and identity by introducing many different acts and rights. After the War of 1812, there was a growing surge of nationalism all throughout the United States. This feeling of happiness originated from the United States recent victory of the War. The Era of Good Feelings, The Age of Jackson, and changing the states’ rights and the economy were all huge factors in the changing nation, and it all reflected from the nation's previous victory. With the new found sense of nationalism and pride, the government took advantage of the states’ and the people. They did this by putting tariffs on imported goods, separating the natives from their homeland, and setting many other
In conclusion, the Colonists were very justified in waging war as they were being over taxed, being ruled from across the sea, and weren’t being taken seriously. The main reason was that the King was no longer for his people and was for the money instead. They were rightly justified because a leader of a country should always be for his people. These reasons helped the Colonists because it gave them a reason to keep going when things got tough. They could see the future of this country and they continued to fight until they could live their vision and
Andrew Jackson was the seventh president, serving from 1829-1837. Nicknamed "Old Hickory," he left an indelible imprint on the nation that extends beyond his face adorning the twenty dollar bill. Jackson split the preexisting Republican Party into the Whig and Democratic Parties, establishing the dual-party structure that exists today. He was the first president who came from a rural, deep Southern background (he was born in the rustic woods of South Carolina) and his impoverished country upbringing informed his presidential policies. As someone who also captained the premier national political position, Jackson is responsible for bringing the experience and voice of the common man to the federal government. This essay will explore three of the most salient aspects of Jackson's presidency: the Nullification Crisis of 1832, the National Bank episode of 1833-34, and the treatment of American Indians and slaves.
America’s history is rich and full of countless heroes, scandals, and incredible stories. Perhaps one of the most interesting of those stories is that of Andrew Jackson’s.
