Andrew Jackson EXPOSED!
BY; Ife
Indian Removal Act
Andrew wanted to kick out the Cherokee and other tribes from the Georgia. In order for more land. The Cherokee were a civil nation so they sued saying they are their on country. They won the court case BUT Jackson did not care and still kicked them out.
Nulification Crisis
The congress put more taxes on not American products or goods. The south suffered heavily because they buy their crops from other countries, With all the crops they bought plus the tariff made them very poor. South Carolina threatains to leave the nation Because they do not want to pay the tariff. So Jackson gets a force bill making him able to send the ilitary there forcing them in. But then South Carolina said ok ok fine we will stay.
Spoil System
The spoil system is a system that rewards supporters for voting for the canidate and gets a job in the goverment. Jackson did this when he won his first election. He kicked everyone out and brought in people who don't even know what to do. Close friends and family members benefited from this system.
Andrew Jackson Politcal cartoon
In this political cartton Andrew Jackson is looked at like a king. Doing what ever he wants with out anyones concerns or regards. In his left hand is a veto, Andrew over uses his power of using the veto as seen in the Indian removal act. He is also stepping on the U.S. constitution, meaning he does not care what it says.
Letter to the plantation owner (Negative)
Honestly? why add more taxes now I have to pay more for my crops. Also now that you kicked out the Cherokee I want to buy that land. But you know because of the new tariff I have to stay focused on my current plantation. Buying new crops for even more money. I even voted for you to be a good president. Only because i heard i would recieve a job in the goverment which would make me more rich. I did not get that either. Why did citizens vote for you why?
Letter to the editor (soldier)
I am so very glad that Andrew Jackson is president. I voted on him being president and he rewareded me with my new position. A U.S Soldier ever since he was president I was used alot more. In the Indian Removal act i was the head soldier leading them to their new land. Also in the nulification crisis I was sent to South Carolina to force them into paying the taxes. It was very fun. I hope more opprtunities come. Thank you Mr. Jackson
