Presidential Outline of Andrew Jackson

This led to conflict after the Mexican War in which America gained new territories in the West. This aborted the Missouri Compromise which was probably the most promising compared to the Compromise of 1850. Had the compromise been applied to all American lands then perhaps it could have succeeded. Instead, the Missouri Compromise failed and only led to further conflict between the north and south in the future. Maine became a state in 1820 and Missouri followed the next year in 1821 (PP). For the next 15 years no states entered the Union (RN). From 1836 to 1850 six states were admitted: Arkansas (1836) as a slave state, Michigan (1837) as a free state, Florida (1845) as a slave state, Texas as a slave state in1845 slave, Iowa in 1846 as a free state and Wisconsin in 1848 as a free state (RN). Nevertheless, the Compromise of 1820 lasted for over thirty years until the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 determined that new states north of the boundary deserved to be able to exercise their sovereignty in favor of slavery if they so choose (RN). Once more, in 1849, the Union was facing the same crises it had faced in 1820. In January of 1848, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill, which is now in present-day California (LN). From 1848

In 1819, two more states wishing to join the union, were Missouri and Maine. Missouri wanted to join the union in the in the north, but as a slave state. this would make the balance of power in congress unequal. Many northerners opposed this idea. Northerners proposed that Missouri be a slave state and that no more slaves were to be brought in, and all slave children would be free at age 25. Eventually Missouri would be a free state. Southerners were opposed to this idea. Congress debated for months. This brought about the Missouri Compromise of 1820, when Henry Clay proposed that Maine enter the union as a free state. He also proposed prohibiting slavery above the 36’30’ latitude, which is the southern boundary of Missouri. Since plantations would not be able to survive further north of this line, the South agreed.

The Civil War began on April 12, 1861, in Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor after the Confederate artillery struck the Fort (“Florida’s Role in the Civil War”). After President Lincoln became the President of the United States, eleven states formed as Confederate states to separate themselves from the United States. The reason why those states separated from the United States was that they did not agree with President Lincoln’s decision to try to end all slavery. The Confederate states wanted to keep slavery going. Those eleven states were Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Virginia, and North and South Carolina. The rest of the United States were called the Union, even though there were some people that lived within the Confederate States that did not condone slavery and there were some people who lived in the Union states who did condone slavery. Fifteen years before Florida joined the Confederacy, Florida had just become part of the United States in 1845 (“Florida in the Civil

The Massachusetts’ District of Maine had also applied for statehood around the same time that Missouri did. The North realized that if Maine became a free state in the North, the political power in the House of Senate and overall Congress would be tipped towards favoring the North and their anti-slavery ideals. Because of this, the southern states had to block Maine’s admission into the United States

Arizona was the forty-eighth state to be admitted to the union, February 14, 1912. The Constitution was rewritten and signed by President Taft (Arizona History Timeline, 2003).

The circumstances regarding the creation of the State of Alabama were peaceful being that the Territory of Alabama had previously been inhabited. Congress officially allowed the establishment of the State of Alabama in the passage of the enabling act entitled “An act to enable the people of the Alabama Territory to form a Constitution and State Government, and for the admission of such State into the Union, on an equal footing with the original States.” This Congressional Act provided the permanent foundation for Alabama citizens to form the first state government of the state. Within the first preamble, the Alabama constitution makers offered their defense for establishing citing the enabling act passed by Congress as “to form ourselves into a Free and Independent State, by the name of “THE STATE OF ALABAMA.” By citing this, the constitution makers were able to justify the adoption of the 1819 Constitution, whereas the Alabama Constitution of 1861 was adopted under different

At this time the states where not so united. As a matter of fact 13 of them had succeeded from the union in the same year President Lincoln was elected (1861). The historical significance of this time was known as the

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.

Colorado became the 38th state of the U.S.A (United States of America) on August 1st, 1876, when the 18th president of the U.S., Ulysses S. Grant signed a proclamation of Colorado statehood. The proclamation was called the Admission of Colorado Into the Union.

Andrew Jackson was born in 1767 and died in 1845. He was also the seventh president of the United States. As Encarta Encyclopedia states, Jackson fought his way to leadership and wealth in a frontier society, and his success established a bond between him and the common people that was never broken. Small farmers, laborers, mechanics, and many other Americans struggling to better themselves looked to Jackson for leadership (1). Jackson moved his way up the chain of the military before becoming president. From an idea in Encarta Encyclopedia, Jackson was a Democrat that was also a hermit. The Democrats considered the opposing party, the National Republicans, later known as the Whigs, aristocrats (1).

The constitutional developments started when the South tried to secede from the Union. The election of the anti-slavery Republican, Abraham Lincoln, as president in 1860 caused seven southern states to secede from the Union to form the Confederate States of
