Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson was born 15 March 1767. There is no indication he served during the American Revolution.

Andrew Jackson got famous for being victorious from the battle of New Orleans. Jackson was an United States General and had won the Americans victory for winning against the British. As a result, Jackson had won president in 1828 with help from the winning of 1812 battle.

Andrew Jackson did not personally kill many Indians . He was the commander of an army that fought Indians and killed maybe 2000 . He left office before the Trail of Tears took place and it was not the result of a presidential directive but rather an act of Congress. There were about 300,000 Indians in 1830, so you say that 2000 died from Andrew Jackson, that is 0.067%.

Stonewall Jackson was shot by friendly fire on May 2, 1863 while heading back to camp at Chancellorsville, VA. He was riding along with several of his aides and they were mistaken by his own men as a group of union soldiers. He was shot 3 times and his left arm was later amputated as a result. While recovering from the amputation he developed and died from pnuemonia on May 10, 1863. Some people theorize that Jackson would have survived the amputation of his arm. The theory is that he developed pneumonia as a result of the medics dropped his stretcher when retrieving him from the battle lines. The fall broke a rib that punctured his lung or something to that effect.

The process took a while -- starting from 1832 to 1834. Jackson had to eliminate the 20-year period of the bank and then withdraw all the money and deposit them into state banks. This eventually led to the "Panic of 1837"

They were considered to be perhaps the three most influential men in the pre-Civil War history. They represent what would now be considered to be the moderate, the right, and the left wing positions with regard to states rights. John Calhoun favored states rights, Daniel Webster was opposed, and Henry Clay was known as "the Great Compromiser".

The US won the Battle of New Orleans. The battle was fought after a peace agreement was signed by both the British and Americans. Word had not yet reached the forces of either side at the time of the battle though.

Andrew Johnson was US senator from Tennessee when the war began. He remained loyal to the union when Tennessee seceded. In March 1862 Lincoln appointed him military governor of Tennessee with the rank of Brigadier General. In 1864 he was elected Vice-President.

He was killed during a duel by a pistol ball fired by Aaron Burr. Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel and Hamilton is said to have reluctantly accepted the challenge (as was the custom of the times). Apocryphal stories from the time say that Hamilton purposely discharged his pistol with the clear intention of missing Burr, but Burr took careful aim and fatally shot Hamilton.

Yes and he became a hero. After that he also went after the Seminoles into Spanish Florida and executed two British subjects suspected of helping the Natives. In 1823 he ran for Senate and President. John Q. Adams beat him for the presidency, but he came back in 1828 to win the office.

During the times when there were quite a bit of Native Americans still living in the US, people, including military leaders traded guns for some of the things that the tribes had. The Native Americans had not seen or used a gun before and this was much better than the weapons they were using, so they took on using guns as part of their everyday life. Which is also why there were so many Native American revolts against the "White men" otherwise known as the commmon citizen back then.

Seeing as Jackson had a TON of kids, it is hard to trace his genealogy. There are several possible connections. One, making them cousins, twice removed, is the most likely. However, the only Thomas Jackson (Stonewall's real name) in Andrew Jackson's direct family was his great grandson, a man of Ireland. While it is unlikely that there is any relation, we'll probably never know. I suppose that means you can say he was, but bear in mind it would be a very thin connection.

The supreme court

Yes, because all presidents have the power of chief diplomat and many other powers.

No. Jackson defeated all attempts by his political opponents to discredit him, won re-election and served out two complete terms. He even had enough popularity to get his vice-president and protege, Martin Van Buren, elected to succeed him.

He criticized the banks because of many reasons the following are just a few- - he believed it was unconstitutional - he believed it concentrated an excessive amount of the nation's financial strength into a single institution - he believed it exposed the government to control by "foreign interests" - he believed it exercised too much control over members of the Congress - he believed it favored Northeastern states over Southern and Western states - he believed its goal was to make the rich people richer

Andrew Jackson himself approved an 1825 map showing his birthplace as Waxhaw, S.C.

When he was in Washington he dressed according to the fashion of his day. He was tall and trim and generally made a good appearance.

Why does anyone reward his supporters, if he can?

Because you are thankful for their support and want to please them and repay a debt to them .

(more cynically) Because you hope for their continuing support.

No.

Andrew Jackson just wanted to get rid of the Indians he didn't really care about them.

Andrew Jackson thought it was best for his people and followers. He did not care about the Indians.

Andrew Jackson was moving the Native Americans east of the Mississippi River.

The Whigs began as the anti-Jackson/anti-VanBuren party. They favored the restoration of the national bank. They were against the annexation of Texas. In 1844,they officially favored a proposal to ban slavery in the territory newly acquired from Mexico but their candidate, Taylor was a big-time slave owner and made no promises to support this proposal. In 1852 they supported the Compromise of 1850 including the controversial fugitive slave law which forced free states to return runaway slaves to thieir owners even though they were against slavery.
