Andrew Jackson
Zero or Hero!
Spoil system
When Andrew Jackson was president he hired people that would always agree with what he says. This is known as the spoil system, since he hired people who he knew would never disagree with him, he would never be told when he did something wrong

This is when the supreme court decided to leave the Cherokee stay in their home land. Andrew Jackson disobeyed the supreme court and continued to remove the Cherokee from their home land. This act lead to the trail of tears.

"To the victor belong the spoils" the old saying goes. Andrew Jackson hired
people that are close to him, people that don't really know anything about politics so that they have nothing else to say but agree with him. This is known as the spoil system, something that Andrew Jackson would do so he would've heard a disagreement.
