Andrew Jackson was one of the most peculiar presidents of the United States. Jackson had a different past then most of the presidents because he was born in poverty and had to work for his wealth. Other presidents were born into wealth and had every opportunity handed to them. Although this played a big part on Jackson's presidency this did not play as big of a part as you would think. He had a military background, serving as a general in the war of 1812, along with experience with being an attorney, and his own private practice. Sadly, his wife died a year into his presidency causing him to become what this country knows as one of our worst presidents. The people started to view Jackson differently after this incident, he was seen as someone

Within two terms, he was able to mold the presidential realm of power into his own boundaries, through his many vetoes, his reinvention of the Cabinet, and his endeavors to advocate for the Union. Andrew Jackson transformed the presidency through his extensive use of executive power.

During Jackson’s first term as president, some of his policies disgraced his image contributing to the political resentment from the people. A political cartoon was published of President Jackson in 1832-1833 and it portrays him in a negative light. He is depicted as a king who is dressed in luxury clothing and “born to command”. At the bottom of the image, it states that he is referred to as “King Andrew the First”. This conveys that he is a democratic and dictator-like ruler (Doc 1). The context behind this image is that he vetoed many laws and was very strong willed. Soon, Jackson gets fed up with some federal office holders who outspeak him and have different viewpoints from him, so he replaces many of them. This was known as the kitchen cabinet which Jackson replaced with many of his close

The seventh president of the United States, Andrew Jackson, made the presidency more powerful because he represented the “common man.” Jackson grew up in the rural parts of South Carolina and when he was thirteen years old, he joined the army at during the American Revolution War. Jackson was involved in many wars and became a war hero. He fought in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. After serving at war, he would serve two terms as president from 1829-1837. Jackson is the father of the Democratic Party. Later on, people would realize that Jackson was a very controversial president. Jackson would be an inefficient and efficient president during his time in office.

Throughout presidential history, one easily concludes that most presidents bear a fairly similar purpose in their campaign. They strive for financial prosperity, unification of political outlooks, and overall steps in development in the quality of life. However, Andrew Jackson was an outlier in these terms.

“You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing,” said Andrew Jackson. This quote reflects on the values and the type of man Andrew Jackson is. Never fearing consequences, Andrew Jackson hopped on every opportunity to develop the United States and made it clear that he was going to run the nation his way. Present Day, controversy has risen to whether this president was a national hero or someone to look down upon. Should the 7th President of the United States be represented on the US twenty dollar bill? Andrew Jackson served as the 7th president of the United States for 2 terms, 1829 to 1837. Jackson redeveloped the traditions of the presidency and made many controversial acts, such as the Trail of Tears and the destruction of the National Bank.

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.

Painted from 1770-1773 The Peale Family consisted of nine of the Peale family members and their “faithful nurse” (Strickland 72). Willson himself is in the back left holding a palette and painting on an easel that says “Concordia Animae,” which means, harmony of souls. The unique composition of The Peale Family shows “the essential unity of the group” (Strickland 72). Connected by the hand and shoulder contact, the people in this painting seem to overlap, showing the concept of E Pluribus Unum. Popular in the 1800’s to the early 1900’s the style of conversation was used in this painting (Strickland 72). The clearness, crispness and realism represented in The Peale Family, demonstrated the classical nature of Peale’s work. Although some of his other works contain a more heroic and classical theme, they still convey the same styles. Being the first to paint a portrait of George Washington, and also painting portraits of 40 different officers from Valley Forge, Peale was known to have painted very “outstanding American leaders” (Encyclopedia of World Biography). As he painted in his classical style, Willson Peale established a name for himself that would be remembered for centuries.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States in the 1820s and 1830s. Like George Washington, Jackson has had little education. Which makes him more likable by the common people than well educated elite presidents. During Jackson's time in office, he had such a major effect that historians call this time The Age of Jackson. His contributions that had such an impact on history was the Spoils System, the Force Bill, the Indian Removal Act, and his views on the National Bank.

Jackson's capable identity assumed an instrumental part in his administration.

Jackson vilified a large number of the individuals who crossed him, including John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay, Bank of the United States president Nicholas Biddle, and Cherokee Indian boss John Ross. Jackson's own character captivated
