What was the reason for Congress to impeach president Andrew Jackson?
Congress wanted Johnson impeached because he refused to cooperate or compromise over black rights and the reconstruction of state governments in the South. Congress was comprised of many Republicans which was the complete opposite of what Johnson wanted. The Republican's tried to pass many bills such as the Civil Rights Bill which Johnson vetoed. They realised he wasn't doing anything they wanted and when he removed Edwin M. Stanton (who was a republican spy in office) Congress tried to impeach him based on the fact that he went against the newly established Tenure of Office Act. They failed to do so in the long run.
How did President Jackson react to the Supreme Court ruling?

What type of paint for kitchen cabinets?
I covered my old butcher block lamanent coutertops with a spray that looks like stone that I purchased at a home improvement center. I think it was called STONE CREATIONS. I then sealed it with 5 coats of polyurathene and I am very very happy with the results! It is durable to a point.....and has held up very well. It can eventually chip but the way I looked at it this was just to get me through until I do replace the countertops. I am very happy with the way it updated my kitchen. I did this in one weekend and that was 2 years ago. It still looks good but does need occaisional touch up. What I did was mask off everything around the counters just like if you were spray painting. ON Friday night I applied the first coat of spray and let it dry overnight. I then applied the 2nd coat and then on Sunday morning I started in with the polyurathene coats.....letting the first one dry really well. BY Sunday night I was through and I was so impressed. The stone spray comes in several colors.....the cost was about $8 a can and I used 4 cans, and I have a lot of counters space. I only wished I would have done it sooner to update my kitchen because I hated those outdated butcher block counters. Good luck and on a scale of 1 to 10 of difficulty I would rate this project a 2 for easy.....the hardest part was masking off cabinets and windows surounding the counters...I just used painters tape and newspaper.....just time consuming.....but a project I highly recommend to cover ugly countertops.

What Indian nation was forced to move to Georgia as a result of Andrew Jackson's policies?

Some of the tribes included the Cherokee, Muscogee, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw, and this event is now known as the Trail of Tears for the vast fatalities suffered.
Why did Jackson fight the national bank?
Jackson claimed that the bank protected wealthy elites rather than the common man. In fact, the leadership of the bank (ex. Nicholas Biddle) was extremely corrupt, and powerful people were able to completely make up interest rates, choose who the bank would and wouldn't lend to, and print as much worthless money as they wanted (causing inflation that led to the Panic of 1837)
How did President Jackson respond to the Supreme Court's decision in Worcester v Georgia?
President Jackson and Congress opposed the Court's developing support of Native American rights; however, the Cherokee weren't removed from their ancestral land during Jackson's administration, but six years after the Worcester decision, under the Van Buren administration.
According to popular myth, Jackson was supposed to have said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!" In Paul Boller's book, They Never Said It: A Book of False Quotes, Misquotes, & False Attributions, historian Robert V. Remini claims Jackson never made such a statement. The tale is based on something Jackson wrote in a letter to John Coffee, "...the decision of the Supreme Court has fell still born, and they find that they cannot coerce Georgia to yield to its mandate,"meaning the Court's opinion was moot because it had no power to enforce its edict (not being a legislative body).
Under pressure from President Jackson, Georgia obeyed the Supreme Court's order to release from jail missionaries who had lived on Cherokee land without buying a required state permit. Marshall's comments about the federal government owing the Cherokee protection were not part of the ruling, but a matter of opinion, because the United States government was not party to the case and not obligated to accommodate the Chief Justice (Marshall often communicated ancillary beliefs through Supreme Court opinions).
In 1838, the federal government demonstrated its contempt for the rights of Native Americans by negotiating an illegal treaty with a small faction of the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee group lacked authority to agree to the Treaty of New Echota because they weren't part of the Nation's official government. Although the United States was aware of this fact, they seized the Native American land anyway and displaced its inhabitants in the "Trail of Tears" tragedy.

In 1817-1818, President Monroe orders Jackson to chase raiding Seminole Indians back into Florida, but not to invade Florida. Instead, Jackson invaded Florida, captured military forts, executed two British subjects for stirring up Indian attacks, and replaced the Spanish governor.

Why did Andrew Jackson dislike the Indians?
who did Andrew Jackson not move???
I believe that Jackson is against Indians just like some people discriminate against black people which is beyond wrong. Like in his speech he stated that it would be cruel as unjust to make people move from their home and the grave of their fathers. but yet he did it anyway. So there you have it my opinion.
Andrew Jackson hated Native Americans because he was brought up hearing words of prejudice. His mother taught him to despise Indians because she had several family members that were killed by Natives. Jackson brought his hatred for the Indians into his presidency, explaining why the Natives called him "Black Heart" and "Devil". I have Native friends that will not even use a twenty dollar bill. His acts of abuse and treachery are still remembered, never to be forgotten.
President Andrew Jackson claimed that use of the spoils system increased democracy in the federal government because it allowed larger numbers of people to hold public office. Jackson was the 7th President of the United States.
