Andrew Jackson

The Star-Spangled Banner, The United States of America's national anthem, was written by Francis Scott Key. The War of 1812 inspired him to write what he saw during the war, and the determination of the soldiers and the glory of his country.

he voted it off

Jackson was president for 8 years, from March 1829 until March 1837. A lot happens in

8 years, so I am overwhelmed by your question, but I mention few things.

The state of SC, hurt by the federal tariff, propounded the doctrine of nullification when

meant that states could, after due action by their government annul federal laws and

not obey them-- and if the government tried to enforce the laws anyway, the states

had the right to leave the federal union. Although Jackson fought to squelch this idea,

it arose again in 1860 when SC actually seceded from the union, provoking the

Civil War.

The second national bank of the US was abolished and the Presidential election

of 1832 became essentially a plebiscite vote on this issue.

The Indian act set processes in motion to move the Indians living in GA and Alabama

westward to AK and OK.

President Jackson used the veto power of the president in a new way, The 6 previous

presidents had only used the veto when they thought a bill was unconstitutional. Jackson

believed that he should veto any bad bill which was against the interests of the people

even if it was constitutional. Consequently , Congress began asking what the president

would like before they proposed or passed laws. Such was the case for previous

presidents. Before Jackson, the presidents let the Congress make the laws without any

interference from the Whitehouse.

Americans living in Mexican controlled Texas, revolted, declared their independence,

were put down by the Mexican dictator, fought back and applied for statehood in the US.

Eventually there were given statehood ,leading to war with Mexico.

Also the Chereokee Indians were forced to move do to the Indian Removal Act mention above but they did no move until 8 years after the act was establish. This walk was called THE TRAIL OF TEARS

He destroyed the national bank, which caused a depression that plagued the presidency of Martin Van Buren.

He hates soldiers

Yes, Jackson was a hero in America. His victory at New Orleans over the British during the War of 1812 made him into a national celebrity, this, and the fact that he was seen as a man of the people both contributed to his election as President.

spoils system........did not protect and benefit the people

native americans.......did not treat them equally, was not for all the people

Seventh U.S. President Andrew Jackson [March 15, 1767-June 8, 1845] became a courier, at the age of 13. His involvement with the local Carolina regiment was in support of the Revolutionary War of Independence by the colonists against the British.

yes because he was angered by the corrupt bargain causing him to be malignant towards republicans in the cabinet thus he established his spoils system which was ultimately irrelevant seeing as he had his "kitchen cabinet" which went against his democratic ideals.

Andrew Jackson felt strongly about women's rights. As his wife Rachel had passed away the day before his inauguration, he wanted to make a change. he wanted to give women the right to vote and the right to have a voice

im doing a report on it right now, and so far i know that he refused to make a 2nd national bank, and made settlers play for land in gold and silver, and cut a lot of nation spending like to make new buliding and such- derek

As of 2010, there have been seven Presidents hailing from Ohio. These are:

1) Ulysses S. Grant

2) Rutherford Hayes

3) James Garfield

4) Benjamin Harrison

5) William McKinley

6) William Howard Taft

7) Warren Harding

He was 61 when elected and just a few day short of 62 when he took office.

He didn't defend it. Not while he was president anyways. He was suppose to. However, he didn't uphold it. He went against the constitution and the Supreme Court. The Supreme court made decisions, like about the Cherokee Indians, but Jackson still went his own way and did what he wanted. It was practicaly pointless to tell him anything because he wouldn't listen and do what he wanted not what you wanted.

-Hope this helped-

Andrew Jackson's running mate in 1832 was Martin Van Buren.

Jackson removed them for a couple of reasons: economic change and racism (though this is my opinion).

He wanted them off the land for economic reasons, so he could sell it to pioneers and fill the federal treasury. He also knew that there was gold and other valuable minerals and resources on their lands, and he wanted that. In addition, the country was expanding rapidly and they needed the land for people to live on. Of course, they could have moved around it, but this was much more convenient.

My opinion is that Andrew Jackson was racist. We are lucky he wasn't born later, or he probably would have been on the confederate side of the civil war. He regarded Native Americans as animals, or worse than animals. He didn't think about the moral ramifications of kicking them off their land because he never thought there were any.

Presidential Reconstruction was made by the president while Congressional Reconstruction was made by the congress which was mainly comprised of radical republicans. Also 'Presidential Reconstruction' was the attempt by the President (first Abraham Lincoln, then Andrew Johnson) using his power to rebuild the south while Congressional Reconstruction rejected this forcing the south to suffer for their crimes and injustices towards slaves.

Andrew Jackson did not attend college. He was a self-taught lawyer. (Back then, young men were tutored by an older 'learned' man who was already established in the same profession.)

Andrew Jackson replaced office holders in order to assure that not only would people of his party hold the majority in office, (thus creating a larger possibility that office holders would agree with his ideas) but so that richer people were not the only ones with these positions. If there were all rich folk in office, then they were more likely to make laws benefitting the smaller percentage of high-class citizens. However, when Jackson put more people from his party in office, they were more likely to make laws that would help the common man.

no

His dad died in an accident clearing his fields for spring planting.

the spoil system was when the president gives his voters government jobs.
