Andrew Jackson

President John Adams nominated his Secretary of State, John Marshall, to be Chief Justice of the United States in 1801, following Adams' defeat to rival Thomas Jefferson. Marshall was a Federalist like Adams and a distant cousin of Thomas Jefferson, with whom he had a strained relationship.

Chief Justice Marshall served on the Court from 1801 until his death in 1835. He had the longest tenure of any Chief Justice, and is considered the most influential leader in Supreme Court history.

Andrew Jackson tried to stop land speculators by congress passing the Indian Removal Act in 1830

He was popular with the common people, because he was the first president to have been born from the West and relate with the common people, not just the wealthy people. He further eliminated the property need to vote, increasing the amount of people voting.

some years ago whilst listening to Paul Harvey of a.m. notoriety I heard the following about the funeral service. The rest of the story...as a preacher lamented the passing of this great man...a voice began cursing and swearing. The assembled crowd of mourners weren't able to get the voice to be quiet. The verbal assault was launched by none other than Andrew Jacksons parrot. I remember this from long ago and was seeking to find a reputable source, not to become one. peace.

There was a scandal about his marriage to a divorced woman. Not only was she divorced,

but they lived together before the divorce became final, although they claimed that they

had been told that the divorce was final before they moved in together and that they

were married at that time in Natchez, which was controlled by Spain.

There was a scandal when his Secretary of War, John Eaton married an innkeepers daughter

,who tended bar, knew how to please men and was not the kind of lady admired by the

other Cabinet wives and the high society of Washington. Moreover she was married to

a man at sea when Eaton first met her, and people said they were sleeping together before

his husband died at sea.

He tried to get rid of the bank and he succeeded in blocking the renewal of its charter, thus ending its existence.

It closed one of the blockade-runners' biggest ports. and diminished Confederate control of the Mississippi.

Whites will make better use of the land than American Indians.

Jackson generally favored policies that benefitted the common man (who were mostly farmers) and was against interests of the easterm merchant classes. Killing the Bank of the US was the most well known act against eastern bankers, who were hated by western and southern farmers. He supported low tariffs and opening up more lands in the west to farming.

As far as "reforms" Jackson's main reform was that of the banking system, by using a series of pet banks to replace the Bank of the US. He also got rid of a large number of political elites in federal jobs to replace with men who favored empowering small farmers.

Andrew Jackson told Calhoun that the US would not tolerate nullification of the tariff. If South Carolina tried, the army would enforce the law.

President Jackson thought the tariff situation was treason and handled it as such by using force to make South Carolina abide by the tariffs. He also felt that the Indians should be allowed to keep their way of life.

It depends on what you believe in and see as an accoplishment. Two things I see as an accloplishment are: 1. He abolished the Bank of the United States 2. He created the political party conventions we know today

The only presidents since Jackson's time to have won the presidency after having lost the popular vote.

It prompted American consumers to buy American-made goods.

Andrew Jackson served two terms as president, from 1828-1836. He served after John Quincy Adam. Martin Van Buren served after Jackson.

Sources give "The Tennessee Tailor" , "Sir Veto","Father of the Homestead Act".

I don't think any were or are widely used.

Jackson won the popular vote in 1824 but lost out in House. Therefore his supporters campaigned seriously for him during the next 4 years. He was a frontiersman from the West, an Indian fighter ,hero of the War of 1812 and was altogether a colorful personality with a striking appearance. His opponent J. Quincy Adams was old school, rather stolid , had never been in the military was not impressive physically. Jackson's running mate, Calhoun helped him carry the South.

In 1862, the Secretary of the Treasury was assigned the task to assign the faces to go on the bills, the only requirement was the person had to be dead. No reason was given for Jackson, but it may have been for irony. Jackson distrusted paper money, and even cautioned citizens about it in his farewell speech.

One in his chest, too near his heart to never be removed; the other in his right arm- it eventually worked its way close enough to the surface that a doctor could remove it. They did not have anesthetic in those days, but Jackson did not complain and went back to work as soon as the bullet was removed.

The two men with the highest amount of votes were chosen to be the President and the Vice President

Jackson was known as the first common man president because just like the common people at that time, Jackson educated himself. He enjoyed cockfighting as a kid and wasn't really good at reading and writing. He was a great war hero. He was an anti-federalist and he believed that the federal government was for the priviledged.
