What was Andrew Jackson two terms?

Answer 1

1829-1836. Andrew Jackson had run for President in 1824, but he and the incumbent, John Quincy Adams had a virtual tie. So Adams got support from John Calhoun, and he won. For the next four years Jackson and his friends yelled their heads of about the cheat. The election of 1828 was the ugliest and most heated race in history. Among the vagaries was an attempt by Adams supporters to paint Jackson's wife as a sinner because she was still technically married to her first husband when she and Jackson had wed. She was so offended and sickened by the insults that it may have contributed to the massive heart attack she had and her subsequent death. Jackson was so infuriated and saddened he wore black the rest of his days and swore to destroy his enemies.

During Jackson's terms, he opposed ideas and measures like the National Bank mainly to get back at his enemies but also because he was somewhat pro-states-rights, and felt that the Bank was too powerful. Congress supported the National Bank however, and overruled his vetoes, so he withdrew government funds from the bank to smaller local banks, destroying the National Bank's credit and loan ability.

His enemies wanted to get back at him and were more states-rights and pro-south than Jackson, who was a westerner and so they in turn opposed his ideas, like Federal funding of inter-state transportation, Federal funding on just about any area they felt should be decided by States as well as any Tariffs (import taxes) which would have supported American industry by raising the costs of foreign goods.

The South felt that those Tariffs would make imported goods more expensive, and the South did not have the industry to provide for their need for manufactured goods, which they traded for crops. Jackson felt the Tariffs were somewhat necessary and many of his opponents came from this camp, and the repeated conflict brought the nation to the brink of Civil War with the Nullification Crisis. Jackson also was mainly responsible for the conflicts with the Cherokee Nation over white settlers wanting to take their land and throw them out. These repeated conflicts would eventually lead to the Trail of Tears, which was actually carried out during Martin Van Buren's Presidency. In the end, Jackson was believed to be the people's candidate, and he did succeed overall in his two terms, although he never truly got along with the Congress or the South.

He was so popular amongst voters he chose his own successor, Martin Van Buren who, through politically maneuvering and continued support of Jackson for his own interests, assured Jackson's decision to choose him to succeed him. Jackson left office in 1837, and to this day is still considered to be one of the most influential and powerful Presidents in the history of the United States. Historians tend to take a more moderate view, recognizing both his contributions and his mistakes, some of which proved to foreshadow what lay ahead.
