The Jackson Articles
The age of Andrew Jackson
Spoils System
The spoil system is where people help someone and in return, that person gives something back. Jackson's people helped him become president, so in return Jackson replaced the people that already had jobs and gave jobs to the people that help him. Not only did this help Jackson because the people liked him so much, but it helped him because these people were regular people. They didn't really know how to do their job. So Jackson couldn't really get fired. Any law he made the people didn't know how to stop it.
Indian Removal Act
Jackson had this plan of moving all the Cherokee into Georgia and taking the land that the Cherokee once owned because the land was very fertile. The cherokee didn't like this because they already had their own constitution, language, they were settled in. They already had a life. So they took this all the way to supreme court. Jackson lost and the Cherokee won but Jackson was like "I don't care" and moved them anyway.
Nullification Crisis
The south doesn't want to pay the tariffs because it doesn't help they. So they said "Hey, we don't like these tariffs. We won't pay them anymore. Cancel these tariffs or we'll leave" and so Jackson made the force bill which gives him the power to send armies to the south and hang the souths leader who is also the vice president. The south gave in and agreed to pay tariffs.
The picture above
This picture represents what Jackson is doing to USA. Also, it hints the time that Jackson threatened the south and said that he would hang their leader. You can see in the text below, it says "Jackson is to be President, and you will be hanged" .Meaning that if you vote for Jackson to run another year, he will just bring more evil.
National Republican ( Negative )
The Spoils System was worst thing that happened to us. We were all happy, wealthy, cheerful. We all had jobs that gave us good money and we worked hard and trained to get these jobs, we actually had a life. Then Jackson comes around and fires us all. Giving people that don't deserve the jobs and don't even know what they can do and how to do it, and they get paid for doing nothing. Its not fair at all. Jackson is one of the worst presidents.
Democrate ( Positive )
The Spoils System was the best thing that happened to us. We were all poor and couldn't support our family. Jackson comes and says he will give us jobs if he becomes present. So I vote for him and he wins. Then he gives jobs out, and I got my life back. I don't even know how to do my job and I get paid. Its so cool. He saved me from starving. Jackson is one of the best presidents.
