Andrew Jackson
Three Reasons Why He's Not A Hero:
- He used the "spoils system" to hire people who would do what he said and not what was right.
- "Nullification Crisis", or "secession crisis," which led to the threat of John Calhoun being hanged is South Carolina didn't agree to the compromise tariff of 1833.
- The "Trail of Tears" where President Jackson made Native American tribes leave their land or be killed going against the Supreme Courts suggestion.
