Andrew Jackson Hero or Zero? (Zero)
By Jordan Moore
Hero Or Zero?
To me Jackson is a zero because he did so many terrible things in his presidency. A few things are the trail of tears, disobeying the judicial court, and abused his powers as a president. Also don't forget he used the spoil system for his election!
My Reasons
Disobeying the court
Andrew Jackson disobeyed the court a few times. The first time was when he closed down the national bank. Some times people say this was good, but he is just ignoring the court.
Trail of tears
This was another time when he disobeyed the court. The court said not to move the natives but he did it anyway. This was when the natives were moved over and half of them died because of bad conditions.
Abuse of power
Andrew Jackson abused his power by disobeying almost everything anyone else said and creating conflict a lot. Many people thought he would become a king.
Andrew Jackson Political Cartoon
In this political cartoon he is taking care of the natives even though he is trying to cover up a big lie and a big number of native deaths!
