What was James Jackson's view on slavery?
He was very racist and he was a slave owner so I think he highly supported slavery.
Well, he confessed, "I can say with truth mine is a situation of dignified slavery.", yet he was a bit different from a mere slave owner. According to historical evidences, Jackson first adopted his Creek Indian son, Lyncoya on November 13, 1813, while later he contiguously purchased Aaron and Hannah each in 1791 and 1794, named the three of them "Jackson" as a part of his family. To defend personally, Jackson most likely considered his slaves as "poor workers" instead of "inferior people", he had them working for him because he needed them, while this should be reasonable for a man liked him who held a belief in equal individual rights. Therefore, unjust actions he took such as Indian Removal could be clarified as what Jackson had to do in a position of president, facing the public, the millions of people who would never be satisfied; Jackson seemed realizing the fact way early before his election of 1899, claiming, "I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life."

Term: March 4, 1829 - March 4, 1837
Political Party: Democratic-Republican, Democratic

Major Domestic Policy: Jackson ran for office in 1828, defeating John Quincy Adams who was running for reelection. People liked Jackson because of the fact that he showed them who he really was. He made the government more democratic known as the Jacksonian democracy, and also made it easier to vote by dropping a majority of the qualifications like religious requirements. The first National Nominating Convention occurred during Jackson's Presidency, which displayed the candidates running for office. Jackson also believed in the Spoils System, which was a rotation in office. This system was not very great for office because of the fact that once somebody knew how to work their job well, there would be a rotation in office, causing them to receive another position. The Spoils System was used in order to prevent a person from gaining to much power under one position. Jackson's unofficial advisors were known as the "Kitchen Cabinet" by his opponents. During his Presidency, Jackson supported Slavery and Indian Removal. Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act on May 26, 1830, which relocated the Indians in the eastern areas, to across the Mississippi in the western areas. This act brought upon the Trail of Tears and the Seminole Wars. During Jackson's time in office, he aimed toward uniting the country. He passed the force bill, which enabled him to end any conflict in the Carolinas such as the Nullification Crisis. The Compromise Tariff, created by Henry Clay in 1833, promised to lower the protective tariff until it had reached the price in 1824. The charter of the Second National Bank of the United States was about to run out. Nicholas Biddle suggested that the charter should be extended. This bill was vetoed by Andrew Jackson and then created pet banks, which destroyed the national banks by receiving support and funds from the United States Treasury. This then resulted with a depression at the end of Jackson's term.
Major Foreign Policy: During Jackson's time in office, there was no conflict with foreign nations. There were no wars that occurred in European or other nations. Instead, he focused on domestic issues of America. The Treaty of New Echota was signed on December 29, 1835 in New Echota, Georgia declaring that the Cherokee Nation was expected to move west to the new Indian Territory. The Cherokee National Council did not approve this treaty, but it became the result of the Trail of Tears.

• Worcester v. Georgia (1832)-Decided that the state of Georgia did not have the power to interfere with intercourse between citizens of Georgia and member of the Cherokee Nation.
• Barron v. Mayor and City Council of Baltimore (1833)-This case declared that the 5th Amendment does not deny the states and national government the right to take private property for public use without fairly refunding the owner of the property.
• Briscoe v. Bank of Kentucky (1837)-This case began by Briscoe being sued by the Bank of Kentucky because he was unable to repay the notes. Argument brought up was whether by issuing notes and currency, was the bank unconstitutional towards Article I Section 10, which states "state shall emit Bills of Credit." The court rejected Briscoe's argument.
• New York v. Miln (1837)-This case decided whether the city had the right to administer a fine as a result of Miln not filing a report of the amount of passengers aboard his ship. The court declared that the state of New York did not violate the Commerce Clause, and that it was in the power of the state to make all necessary steps to protect safety and health of its citizens.
Intellectual and Social Developments:
• Protective tariffs were created that aided owners and workers.
• The Trail of Tears occurred in 1838 when the Cherokee Nation was forced to move from their eastern locations, to the west across the Mississippi and resulted with 4,000 Cherokee deaths.
