Andrew Jackson however had many significant obstacles, some that resulted badly, that shined a negative light on his presidency.

The Indian Removal Act was established to move Native Americans off of American territory who were interfering with US expansion. However because of this act, both the states and the Indians were able to benefit, which is explained throughout document 6. The US was gained more peace within the state and national government, there were less problems that arose. Money on the western frontier was strengthened and grew. States were able to grow and prosper. Additionally, the Indians were now free of further conflict with Americans. If they agreed to move west they would become separate from the United States. They would be able to live on their own, without interference from the United
The Indian Removal Act was an act that removed native americans from their land because the US wanted it. The supreme court specifically told Jackson to not move the native americans off the land, but Jackson still did. Even though the native americans and the US had an agreement, the US still decided to remove the native americans so they could have the land. The native americans were moved off their land and moved west. This lead to the Trail of Tears.
I do not believe that President Jackson should be on the twenty dollar bill. He was not a man of good; all he cared about was pleasing himself and making other people believe he was doing good; manipulating them. Andrew Jackson was only concerned with keeping the union together. If he could get people to see that he could keep the states one nation then he would gain fame. I find
Andrew Jackson, born on March 15,1767 was the 7th president of the United States, who was a self made man, rising to money and power. He is viewed as a controversial historical figure in American history between being a hero or villain. Andrew Jackson is a villain due to his controversial decisions during his presidency, such as the spoils system, the nullification crisis, the Second Bank of the United States, and lastly the most impactful decision, the Indian Removal Policy. Jackson may have been seen as the common man leader,and did many things to benefit the people, but that can not justify his unacceptable actions.
Personally , I don't think Andrew Jackson should be on the twenty dollar bill. He was our president , but he shouldn't be “ honored” the way he is , here is why. Jackson discriminated against blacks , he abused his power as president , he owned a huge plantation and profited off of 150+ slaves. Lastly he sparked a war trying to return slaves back to their owners known as the “ first seminole war “.
Awarded the prestigious honor to remain forever engraved on the twenty dollar bill, Andrew Jackson became a figure in American history never forgotten. Future generations of younger students will not need to know Andrew for them to assume he was a great man.

America has been shaped and reshaped in various instances throughout its history; some of the men that played vital roles in achieving the status we now possess have been immortalized in our currency. President Andrew Jackson, is one of the few American leaders that was chosen to live on forever; however, many now argue whether or not Jackson truly deserves the honor to be represented in the 20 dollar bill--- arguing that there are other better qualified people to take his place; an example being Harriet Tubman. I believe that President Andrew Jackson should stay on the 20 dollar bill. Although many of his personal beliefs contradict many of our current beliefs and values, we shouldn’t judge him on them; rather, we should judge President Jackson on his actions as a president and how he impacted the nation as a leader. Thanks to the hard decisions that President Jackson had to take America was able to advance the way it did. We wouldn’t be the United States of America we are today without President Jackson.
Did you ever think about who was on the twenty dollar bill? Or if they deserve to be on the twenty dollar bill? Well, I’ll tell you that the 7th U.S. president, Andrew Jackson, was on the twenty dollar bill. Jackson was born poor, but worked his way up to become part of politician. He saved his wife from a bad relationship, went into wars for the country, propelled into presidency and payed off national debt. I think that Jackson deserves to be on that twenty dollar bill because he was a war hero, he saved the country from debt and kept the union together.
Some may say Andrew Jackson was the King of America during his reign of presidency because of his strong and commanding leadership and because of this he should not be on the twenty dollar bill, but he actually had a great impact on the United States as it is today including the less fortunate class in the democracy. Andrew Jackson grew up losing his family to illness like flies. Jackson became president in 1828 and his childhood struggles fueled his personality. The main reasons why Andrew Jackson should be on the twenty dollar bill are he did what was beneficial for the future of the country, not what was popular, he broadened the democracy from the wealthy class to the lower socio economic classes by shutting down the Bank of the United
Andrew Jackson, the president honored on the twenty dollar bill, could be seen as one of the greatest presidents in American history. Even growing up, Jackson was determined to create change in the world. He defied all odds and became the victor during the Battle of New Orleans and he created the Jacksonian democracy during his presidency. He also brought a surge, though short-lived, of wealth in the country’s economy. To begin with, during the War of 1812, Jackson fought one of the most famous battles - The Battle of New Orleans.
Andrew Jackson does not deserve to be on the 20 dollar bill. He should not be on the 20 dollar bill because of the horrible Acts that he has done, like the Indian Removal Act and the Implemented Spoils System. These two acts were awful because he made the Native Americans travel ridiculously long journeys, with awful conflicts like diseases and starvation. Andrew Jackson had also come up with the Implemented Spoils System which was firing government employees and replacing them with his own supporters. He had done this, just so he could get more money for himself. Since he had done these two acts, he has been considered not honorable by many people who have made drawings and pictures.

The Age of Jackson happened throughout the years of 1824 to 1848 when Andrew Jackson was President. Andrew Jackson was a wealthy man from Tennessee who ran for the presidency in 1824. Jackson was not a popular choice among the American people who lived in the north because he was a frontiersman, a plantation with a great number of slaves, and had no formal education. Jackson lost his first run for the presidency to John Quincy Adams even though he had the popular vote of the American people. Political parties also started to form during this time because they were thought to help the American people vote for the candidates who would protect their beliefs.
Since the dawn of time man has sought a strong, white, go-like leader. A leader that would make our country great again. A leader that wouldn’t be afraid to stand for what he believed in. Now; naturally, I'm sure you'd think I'm giving praise to our god, Donald J. Trump, and you'd be right; however, I can't write about our lord. Why? Because my first amendment as a U.S. citizen is being provoked; therefore, I have no choice but to write about the next best thing. You've got the father, the son, and Andrew Jackson, the holy spirit. The president of our great nation has many responsibilities, many of which involve the safety of their citizens. The president can also enact his ultimate powers to bring down tyrannical leaders and countries.
Andrew Jackson was an American hero. He helped fight in wars, such as the Battle of New Orleans. Jackson was the seventh president of the United States and many people liked him because he helped average americans. Jackson was a slave owner and did not believe that blacks had rights. He also took away rights of Native Americans. I do not think that Jackson should be on the twenty-dollar bill for several reasons.
Unless we want this country to be under a constant spiral of deterioration we must elect a candidate who will be good for us due and remember where the power lies in America, that being the common man. Democracy is power to the people, and excluding impoverished and uneducated from voting blocks does not represent that. This country was founded on the grueling hardships of those who, today, would not be considered as elite and therefore would not have been given the right to vote. We must not take privileges from those who built today's civilization. As a debtor farmer, the man I want running my country is Andrew Jackson, who will in turn give me my deserved rights. I support him fully in his policies of Indian removal and in the distrust of
