Andrew Jackson is a Zero
By : Haley Hoffman
Andrew Jackson is without a doubt anything but a hero if you thought anything other than that you won't after Reading this .
Andrew Jackson is a Zero Spoils system, Trail of tears, and the Nullification Crisis
Spoils system
Jackson uses this to his advantage by telling people to vote for him. In the previous election John Quincy Adams did this and beat Jackson. Basically what Jackson did was told people to vote for him and if you did then he would give you some kind of government job. One of the biggest problems was the people who were getting jobs meant that people were also losing jobs , and the people that were getting jobs had no idea what to do so it messed up our government. Jackson loved it though.
Trail of Tears
The Cherokee Indians lived a happy and peaceful life in Georgia. Until Jackson found out that they were living right on top of gold! So Jackson went to the Supreme Court and they said that he could not remove the Indians. Jackson however didn't like that answer so he went ahead and did it anyway. So his men followed the Indians all the way to oaklahoma. So soon Jackson got what he wanted all the money but all the Indians suffered.
Nullification Crisis
Many southerners had a problem paying taxes because they were all poor but very little did anything about but South Carolina proved why. South Carolina didn't want to pay taxes anymore so when Jackson heard about This of course he wasn't having it. Jackson threatened to kill their Governer in front of them but then somehow... They came to an agreement that Jackson would lower the taxes and that South Carolina would pay them.

I would just like to thank you for clearing out those dangerous dangerous Indians they had no place living on our land.
