Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States of America, brave, tough, and mean as a snake but how did he get that way? He was born in South Carolina to his newly emigrated family. His father died soon after he was born, so his mother raised three kids by herself and some Irish immigrant farmers. When he was thirteen he and his brothers joined the Revolutionary war to fight the British. His oldest brother died in battle, but Jackson and his other brother were captured. Jackson disobeyed his captors and was cut with a sword also him and his brother got smallpox in captivity. When they were released because of a prisoner exchange his brother shortly died from sickness. Jackson recovered but his mother died of cholera and

“The bottom line is, people have a right to live their lives even if it doesn’t match what you think is correct. When we fight for civil rights, we must fight for equality for all; anything less is hypocrisy and an insult to the definition of justice itself.” Rev. Al Sharpton is a long time civil rights leader, minister, talk show host, and even has been known to give president Obama advice on civil rights issues. Sharpton’s article is set up by touching on unfair transgender laws in North Carolina, statements made by U.S. representatives, and the civil rights movement as a whole. He limits the article the time period beginning in the civil rights movement. Ding this allows the reader to only think about civil rights from a more progressive mindset. Sharpton does this all from his view. Due to his experience as a civil rights leader he speaks about the movement from a stronger perspective than most.

Andrew Jackson: one of the most controversial Presidents of our country's history. To some, he was a hero of the common man, to others, he was a power hungry dictator. In the years before Jackson's presidency, the country felt exceedingly nationalistic. The Federalist party was thriving. America had stood up to the British in the War of 1812 and James Monroe had issued the Monroe Doctrine, advising all countries in the Eastern Hemisphere to leave the rebelling South American Countries alone. However, when Andrew Jackson became President, power shifted from the legislative and judicial branch to the executive branch and from the federal government to the states governments.

Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States of America, and the first President to have an assassination attempt plotted against him, is viewed as one of the most controversial figures in American History. Scenarios that prove of Jackson being a controversial figure during his presidency, include the Nullification Crisis, Bank War, and the Trail of Tears. These three scenarios dictate whether the content of Andrew Jackson’s character and whether he had a successful presidency or not.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States and served as President from 1829-1837. He won his presidency on his second attempt to run for President; his first attempt ended with John Quincey Adams winning even though Jackson won the popular and electoral votes. He was a war hero during the Battle of New Orleans which was the final battle of 1812, leading people to believe that he was the reason America won the war. This lead to an increase in Andrew Jackson’s popularity in the election of 1828 as well as he ran off of the position that he was the President of the “common man”. Although Andrew Jackson politically changed the face of the Democratic Party in America, he however abused his Presidential powers, by significantly

Self-made, strong through closeness to nature, and endowed with a powerful moral courage, Andrew Jackson served as a representation of the new American. Born in 1767 South Carolina, Jackson received less education than any former president in the US. He was given the nickname “Old Hickory” because he had been brought up through tough, hardworking, American roots. In fact, young Andrew Jackson has been characterized by some historians as “a poor student who showed little regard for the rules of the English language” (“Andrew Jackson”) Given Jackson's background, few could foretell that he would prosper to become the 7th President of the United States of America.

Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), Americas seventh President, was born into poverty and became wealthy as a Tennessee lawyer and politician by 1812. His leadership developed while the United States and Britain fought against one another. Throughout the battle Jackson showed great leadership skills and direction. Some say he became America’s most influential and polarizing political figure between the 1820 and 1830. Jackson first ran for President in the 1824 presidential election losing in a close race to John Quincy Adams. Four years later Jackson defeated Adams to become the Seventh President of the United States. America’s political party’s evolved and Jackson was the leader of the Democratic Party. He was a big supporter of states’

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States of America. He came into the presidency during a time when America had plateaued in its expansion west, the issue of slavery causing issues between the states, and corrupt government officials were abundant.

Stepping over puddles of blood and dead soldiers, Andrew Jackson kept fighting against the British till he tasted victory, thus proving him a hero. Born in 1767 in Waxhaw, a region along the border of North and South Carolina colonies, Andrew Jackson was raised in poverty. As a kid, he had no former education, but he taught himself law and became a lawyer. In 1788, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee (which was part of North Carolina) and became the first representative for Tennessee in 1796 when it became a state. Then, he served in the U.S. Senate from 1797-1798, and the Tennessee Supreme Court from 1798-1804. However, Andrew Jackson became a national hero when his forces defeated the Creek and Seminole Indians; his fame also grew he defeated

Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States, was born on March 15, 1767 into an immigrant family. His modest family background and his rise to power gave him the nickname “President of the Common Man” (Everett). Andrew Jackson is known for his aspiration for a unified country, expanding democracy for all white males, and his emphasis on reducing the national debt. However, he is also known for his support of the removal of Native Americans from their homeland, most notably the Trail of Tears, and his participation in slave trading. Even though Andrew Jackson played in a major role in U.S. politics, his questionable personal life and beliefs raised questions on whether or not he deserves to be on the $20 bill (Feller, Daniel. “The, ¶ 8).

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States. He has been a topic of debate since 1829 when he was elected president. The debate, argued by professional historians and students, is whether or not he is counted as one of the great presidents. I am of the opinion that he deserves a place in the top ten. During his presidency he was known a man of the people. He, like many great presidents, was a self-made man and a military leader that led our country through many victories. He had a strong personality and was a very decisive man. He was a forefather of the democratic party we have today, he ended the national bank, he is the only president to have eliminated the national debt even though it came back, he conquered the nullification

Finally, Ta-Nehisi Coates shows his support for this claim in his article “The First White President.” In this article Coates discusses how minorities, such as African Americans, have always been outsiders because of society’s racism, but with President Trump they lost all hope of becoming insiders. Before, with Obama as president, minorities had some hope of becoming insiders, “Barack Obama delivered to black people the hoary message that if the work twice as hard as white people anything is possible” which gave light to the possibility of change, but with a different society in charge, all minorities were now more outsiders than before (Coates). This is not a new division, for African American people have always been pushed to the outside.
