High Teriffs
He created the a High Tariff that hurt the south, caused a lot of anger, and only helped the north with their industries to become a stronger business and increased the prices to become rich.
Turning into a king
Finally he acted like a king and did what he wanted, like vetoing all Indian protection bills ect.
This political cartoon shows that Andrew Jackson acted like a king by over using his vetoing powers, going above the law, and ignoring the supreme courts ruling to leave the Cherokee alone.
