Andrew Jackson is a Zero

Why?
Indian Removal Act
People sought that the Cherokee land was very desirable because of its gold and cotton. Andrew Jackson decided to sign a bill to agree on & allowing the U.S. government exchange the Cherokee land to a less desirable land; making them move from Georgia to Oklahoma. Making them move and die along their path.
Worcester v. Georgia Supreme Court Ruling
The Supreme Court supported the Cherokees, stating that the Cherokees had the right to govern themselves, and Georgia cant interfere with them. But Andrew Jackson ignored the Supreme Court rulings and forced the Indians out of their land.
Nullification Crisis
In 1828, the congress passed a protective tariff that the Southern states felt like they were not benefiting as much as the north. The South felt that, as a state, they should be able to "nullify" the tariff. As the South wanted to secede from the Union, Congress passed a force bill and Jackson threatened to send the military to force South Carolina to accept the 1833 Compromise Tariff. But military force was not necessary.
The Devil
Jackson acts as a cruel king and makes unfair treatments. As a puppet master, he controls the people and hires inexperienced supporters who benefited him in the Spoil System.
