Andrew Jackson has gone down as one of the best presidents in United States history and that’s because he did many great things to improve the United States. Throughout his presidency he constantly abused his power as the president and did many things that expanded the powers of the president. One of the biggest things that President Jackson did while in office was pass the Indian Removal Act. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was when Jackson forced all the Indians to move to the land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase, while the Supreme Court declared this unconstitutional. Many of the Indians went peacefully, but many of the Indians also decided to protest and take it to the Supreme Court (Darrenkamp). While the court did side with the Indians Jackson and Congress forced the Indians to give up their land. The federal troops were called in to escort the Indians to their new land. Fifteen thousand Indians were forced to move and while on their way about a third of the Indians died, and this event became to be known as the Trail of Tears (Darrenkamp). Jackson had

Many people refer to Andrew Jackson has the “common man”. He grew up poor in the west, fought in the War of 1812, and later became a lawyer. His poor background helped him coin the nickname of "president for all the people”. I do believe that Andrew Jackson was was a president for the "common man".

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

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. To some, he was a hero, but to others, he was their worst enemy. Being raised in the mountains of the Carolinas, he became the first “backcountry president” of the United States (Wilentz, 13). His fame, though, began years before his presidency.

Andrew Jackson’s influence on the politics of his time was remarkable. He was the only president to have an era named after him. He also changed the way this country was run and expanded the country’s borders. He changed much, but the four most important aspects of this era, in chronological order, were his victory over the British, his defeat in the presidential race of 1824, his successful presidential campaign in 1828, and his decision to remove Native Americans to land west of the Mississippi. His victory over the British in the Battle of New Orleans lifted his popularity exponentially. He was a newfound American hero, and this pushed his political ambitions towards the White House. In 1824 Jackson was defeated in a close presidential

Andrew Jackson, ranked as one of the best presidents the United States has had, he did a lot of good also a lot of bad. Jackson believed that states should have more power than the Federal government, but he did the opposite when he was in office, giving the President more power, by signing a veto, than before he was in office. Jackson was also not accepting of the Supreme Court’s decisions by not enforcing their rulings.

Andrew Jackson was a great president but had his failures, he was known as the Hero of New Orleans.

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.

Andrew Jackson, born 15 March 1767, was the seventh US President (1829-1837) and was a part of the Democratic Party ("Andrew Jackson - U.S. Presidents - HISTORY.com", 2009). His early life began in hardship in poverty as a son of Irish immigrants whose family died during the British invasion of the Carolinas (1780-1781) ("Andrew Jackson - U.S. Presidents - HISTORY.com", 2009). Despite life’s unforgiving nature, he managed to study law during his teenage life and challenged the Carolina bar in 1787 ("Andrew Jackson - U.S. Presidents - HISTORY.com", 2009). He later moved to Tennessee, in a place that would later become Nashville, where he became a prosecuting attorney ("Andrew Jackson - U.S. Presidents - HISTORY.com", 2009). Jackson became sufficient enough to become a slave owner, became the first man elected to the US House of Representatives from Tennessee, and was later elected as a judge to the Tennessee superior court (Andrew Jackson- Whitehouse.gov). With the War of 1812 Jackson became a Major General and won a series of battles, to include, the Battle of Tohopeka in Alabama against the Creek Indians in 1914, against the British at New Orleans in 1815, and an his invasion of Florida against Spain in 1817 ("Andrew Jackson - U.S. Presidents - HISTORY.com", 2009).

A forgotten president, Martin Van Buren. The 8th president of the United States of America was, a five foot-six-inch career politician. His predecessor Andrew Jackson, was not only an American war hero but also a founding father. Trying to fill the shoes Andrew Jackson left was hard for Van Buren. He knew that and in his inaugural address he said, “that I belong to a later age and that I may not expect my countrymen to weigh my actions with the same kind and partial hand”. What he meant by saying is the he expected the Citizens of the United States of America to hold him to a different standard. If Van Buren would make a mistake the citizens would not forgive as easy as someone like Andrew Jackson. Even though Van Buren served as Jackson’s Secretary of State and as Vice-President. The opposing party of Van Buren, Whig reacted badly towards him giving him nicknames and portrayed him as Jackson’s puppet.
