Was Andrew Jackson for slavery

Answer 1

Andrew Jackson's wife had a heart attack in the presence of their slave. He pushed the slave aside, crying and hugged his wife. Jackson died 17 years later next to the same slave, who is quoted saying, "Master Jackson was a good man. I have no doubt they let him in heaven." So he obviously did not oppose slavery, but did treat his slaves with respect.

Answer 2

He did not seem to have any reservations about the institution in general and he certainly believed in the Constitutional right to own slaves in those states designated as slave states.

He strongly opposed to attempts to start a slave uprising. He allowed his Postmaster General to "lose" anti-slavery literature that Easterners mailed to southern states from time to time.

Answer 3

Yes , as the owner of more than 100 slaves when he died, he supported the institution of slavery.

Answer 4

Yes, he was a slave holder. The slave that was there when his wife died was also there next to him when he died.

Answer 5

Apparently. He owned a large number and used them to work his plantation. He had the trouble-makers beaten, but he was kind to those who behaved.

Answer 6

Yes at one point he had 150 slaves!
