It is my understanding that President Andrew Jackson and Chief Justice John Marshall were diametrically opposite in their views of Native American rights. In fact, Jackson refused to accept any Supreme Court action that would favor the Native American. For example, in response to the Supreme Court's decision of Worchester v. Georgia, President Jackson was rumored to have said: "John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it!" As a result, Georgia would initially ignore Marshall's ruling, however they would eventually avoid federal jeopardy by quietly releasing Worchester.
At that time, Native Americans were not even recognized as U.S. Citizens. Moreover, Jackson did not consider Native Americans to be civilized enough to have any constitutional privileges, much less entitlement to the land they were occupying. It is no surprise that he followed-up with the forced removal of Cherokee People, which had been made legitimate by the Indian Removal Act.
Even though Jackson's dislike of Native Americans was obvious, it has been suggested that his political motives went beyond his prejudices. Jackson was a strong unionist, and he ignored federal enforcement of Worchester v. Georgia as a token gesture to keep Georgia from further federal alienation (state's rights, secession), as he already felt South Carolina was headed. To further his favor with the South, Jackson even appointed a U.S. Representative from Georgia to the Supreme Court during Marshall's tenure.
However, in the long term, Chief Justice Marshall would reach beyond his grave to have the last laugh. Historically, his Supreme Court action in Worchester v. Georgia would be the single most important judicial decision affecting relations between the U.S. and Indian Nations. It would establish a legal precedent that the Indian nations are sovereign and independent of any state's legislation, while being subject only to the U.S. Government. Worchester v. Georgia would be cited many times to affect Supreme Court decisions well into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Thomas Jackson, also known as Stonewall Jackson, is not known to have had a policy toward Native Americans. Andrew Jackson, a generation earlier, and no relation to Stonewall, carried out a policy similar to a Russian progrom to force Native Americans across the Mississippi to a separate territory. This became known as the Trail of Tears.
The African country that is the friendliest towards Americans is Liberia.
He felt the everyone, common and wealthy people, should be able to have the right to vote (execpt for Blacks, Women, and Native Americans). When he was president, he established Jacksonian Democracy which allowed the common man to vote. Back then, only wealthy people could vote and men had own a specific amount of land, but at the beginning the Jacksonian Democracy, it all dropped.
This is false. I had the same question for my homework, everywhere i looked said false.
Many Americans blamed President Hoover for the Great Depression and believed he did not do enough to address the economic crisis. They perceived him as indifferent and out of touch with the suffering of the American people. This negative opinion towards Hoover contributed to his unpopularity during his presidency.
