Andrew Jackson

President Andrew Jackson did not like the idea of a centralized Bank of the United States, which was not equivalent of today's Federal Reserve, but made loans to individuals and made a profit for its shareholders. The bank had the benefits of all federal deposits and so had a lot of money to loan out. It was managed by the rich people is the East and favored them. It did little to serve the needs of the people on the Western frontier. Moreover, its management had political interests and lobbied against Jackson in Congress by offering low interest loans to anti-Jackson people.

Jackson believed that the Bank of the United States (BUS) only served the interests of northern merchants and threatened the people's liberties through a monopoly. As a Westerner and so-called "common man," Jackson was very much against the BUS. The Bank was recharted/renewed regularly, and when the proposition landed on Jackson's desk, he was reported saying to Van Buren (his vice president) "The bank... is trying to kill me, but I will kill it." And with that, Jackson vetoed the Bank's renewal. Moreover, he transferred the money into western "pet banks," which would lead to the Panic of 1837.

No, he had 10, 2 of which were adopted and 8 that were really relatives, but he and his wives were childless.

Questions from Advanced Academics.

strengthen the power of the federal government

1. the nullification bill passed by the SC legislature which threatened to start major

civil unrest and possible civil war.

2. the federal tariff which helped industry in the NE, but was an abomination to SC and

the South and provoked the nullification threat.

3. The national bank which was established by the old establishment aristocrats and used federal funds to help them get richer, but did little or nothing for the poorer people.

4. what to about the Indians in the South who were unhappy to be a part of the United

States and constantly engaged in hostile action against white settlers.

5. The silly petticoat war which broke up his cabinet and even caused a division with his

family and closest helper, Andrew Donelson.

THEM INDIANS IS ON FEDRAL LAND!!!!!!!!!

He passed it.

Well, Charles Dickinson is an extremely old relative of mine.

Anyway, I don't know the cause but I do know the result:

Andrew Jackson was saved from a bullet because of buttons on his coat, while Charles died from one of Andrew's bullets.

Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson had a series of disagreements that ended in a duel between the two in May 1806. The final argument was over a horserace scheduled between Jackson's horse Truxton and a horse owned by Joseph Erwin named Ploughboy. Erwin was Dickinson's father-in-law.

When Ploughboy was not able to run in the race, Erwin was supposed to pay Jackson a forfeit. There apparently was a disagreement between Jackson and Erwin over the amount of the forfeit. Dickinson heard rumors that Jackson and/or Jackson's friends were criticizing his father-in-law for not paying the forfeit properly. He put an ad in the Nashville newspaper calling Jackson various bad names. Jackson challenged Dickinson to a duel and Dickinson accepted.

The two men met in Kentucky for the duel (dueling was outlawed in Tennessee) and Dickinson shot first hitting Jackson in the chest. Under the rules of duels, Dickinson had to stand still and allow Jackson to also take a shot. Jackson aimed and shot Dickinson in the chest. Dickinson died from blood loss. The doctors decided it would be too dangerous to remove the bullet and Jackson carried it for the rest of his life.

Zachary Taylor kept a horse named Old Whitey. I think he was Taylor's old warhorse.

He was a very smart person and he was a lawyer.

Two states were admitted to the Union during Jackson's Presidency: Arkansas (1836) and Muchigan (1837),

JESUS !!!!!!!!

Edit by Engl1sh: Amen!

Edit by Phobos131313: If you believe in that sort of thing, sure. Here in the real world, however, "humanity" and "perfection" just don't mix. It's like asking "What tree bears the most pork?"

The North were free states and the South were slave states.

Only two US Presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson (1868) and Bill Clinton (1998). Both were acquitted at their Senate trials.

because he was a common man that's what voters thought ?

Yes, Jackson was more popular that John Quincy Adams. He was a hero on the frontier for winning the Battle of New Orleans as well as for fighting Indians. Immigrants and poorer people indentified with him. He defeated Adams for the Presidency and served two terms. Adams' popularity was mostly restricted to the wealthy people in the Northeast.

Under his direction an army of frontier militia men won probably the greatest land battle in US history, losing some 20 men while killing some 2500 well-trained, experienced enemy soldiers.

(A second thing is that he was a two-term US President who changed that office into its modern form.(

It was one of the most powerful banks in the country , therefore President Javkson disliked it because it had so much power .

because he had a disease and he went to war with it and won and also tried to beat a man with a cane

Former President of the United States, Andrew Jackson, was scarred on the left hand and head by a sword from a British redcoat, leaving him scars on his hands and feet - having refused to clean the boots of the army officer. Jackson became an orphan before the age of 14, giving Jackson an intense hatred of the British for the rest of his life.

Jackson thinks his policy is kind and generous because he is keepng the Cherokee from utter annihilation

they accused him

of ignoring the native americans
