Andrew Jackson
his Presidency
Battle of New Orleans
Jackson became a national hero after defeating the British at New Orleans during the War of 1812–albeit several days after the signing of a peace treaty in Europe. The battle was one of the most lopsided victories in American history, where the British lost over two thousand men and the Americans only a handful.
Soldier
I think Jackson was great. he led us to great achievements in this country. I also like Jackson because he got cheated on the first election and he won the next one. Jackson i think is the best president.
Cherokee
Jackson was awful to us Cherokee. we were all fine until he kicked us out. tons of us died on the trail and we all suffered. i had to take care of them freezing and getting wounds.
The Corrupt Bargain
In the spring of 1825, Jackson accused Speaker of the House Henry Clay of making a "corrupt bargain" with John Quincy Adams, where Clay would be appointed secretary of state under Adams if Clay would throw his support behind Adams in the disputed election of 1824
The indian removal act
The Indian Removal Act was passed by Congress on May 28, 1830, during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. The law authorized the president to negotiate with southern Indian tribes for their removal to federal territory west of the Mississippi River in exchange for their ancestral homelands
