More Zero than Hero
Andrew Jackson Project
Cherokee Indian
I am writing this letter to express my opinion on the presidency of Andrew Jackson. I do not like him at all because he kicked my tribe out of our own land for his own interests and never thought twice about what he was doing. We fought a fair trial in court and won. But of course he ignored our request to stay on our land.
Northerner
We love Andrew Jackson because he lets us have a lot of money even after the tariff of 1828 and 1832. The Southerners were upset because they don't have any manufacturing and Jackson put tariffs on everything from different countries so we get all the money. Congress passes the force bill to make the south pay it but they wouldn't pay unless the price was dropped.It's a win, win situation for us because we still get money.
Jacksonian Democracy
The number of people who had suffrage before Andrew Jackson was president were only rich white men. That wasn't very many people. So what he did was he made suffrage allowed to all white males to gain more votes in the election. The people who had original suffrage weren't more deserving because it should be open to more people.
Killing the National Bank
The National Bank established stabilizing our economy. Jackson thought of the bank as being corrupt and only aiding the wealthy. As well as feeling that the bank was unconstitutional. He got rid of the National Bank by vetoing it.
Trail of Tears
Jackson wanted to take the Cherokee Indians land in Georgia because it had gold and land to grow cotton on. He took it to court and they said that he couldn't move the Cherokee because they were there own nation. But as Jackson usually is, he moved them to Oklahoma onto reserves.
Political Cartoon
Andrew Jackson is dressed like a king because he is doing whatever he wants. He is holding a veto because he vetos everything he disagrees with. And on the floor is the constitution ripped up because he disrespects it.
