It is debatable whether he was a sectionalist or nationalist. While he was originally a southerner and against the Bank of the United States because it gave too much power to manufacturers and the economy (the North basically), he fought for the bigger picture and fought for the entire country, not just the south. During the election of 1824, everyone in the country showed their love towards Jackson seen in the outcome- he got the majority of the electoral and popular votes. Therefore, there is evidence that he was both, and it could be debated either way.

How did Andrew Jackson approach the conflict of nationalism and sectionalism?

Andrew Jackson navigated the conflict between nationalism and sectionalism by promoting a strong centralized federal government while also accommodating regional interests. He championed policies that fostered national unity, such as the Indian Removal Act, which aimed to expand U.S. territory, but also faced significant opposition from Southern states, particularly over issues like tariffs. Jackson's presidency highlighted the tensions between national authority and states' rights, leading him to sometimes prioritize national interests over regional concerns. His approach ultimately reinforced both the spirit of nationalism and the growing sectional divisions that would later contribute to the Civil War.
