Andrew Jackson
Hero or Zero? Absolute Zero
He's a Drop Dead Zero
Andrew Jackson is a zero because he forced Native Americans out there settled land where they had created a constitution and also schools, This was called ''The Trail Of Tears''. Another reason he is a zero is because of the "Spoils System". It was where he gave his trusted friends to government positions which was bad because they weren't qualified for a job. The last reason is in the case of "Worcester v. Georgia" because he did not listen to the supreme court which is in the the highest court and he did not follow the court ruling.
