Was Andrew Jackson a strong leader?

Answer 1

Yes, I think any reasonable person would say that he did. He was a strong leader, knew

what he wanted to do, and that offended some, but he also was a politician and knew how

to get his ideas forwarded and accepted. The fact the he was re-elected after some

controversy indicated that he had good leadership skills.

Answer 2

He is perhaps the most controversial president. Here are some reasons on why he is good and why he is bad.

GOOD:

~turned the country into a true democracy (giving more power to the common people)

[many people argue that he favoured the commoners too much, which does not make sense as an argument seeing how the commoners were never favoured, the rich were, so this argument is best to avoid]

~expanded the US

~raised economy

~"solved" the problem between Americans and Native Americans by moving the Indians west. (solved is in quotations because he basically only moved the problem west by moving the Indians on Indian reservations, in later years though the US would move westward straight towards the Indians)

BAD:

~Trail of Tears

(utterly brutal displacement of Indians)

~broke many rules

~did without consent of the people

Answer 3
