Andrew Jackson

White people will never have to interact with American Indians ~Apex

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.

President Jackson was called that by his enemies in the Wig party.

Granting Congress any power not explicitly granted by the Constitution will remove all limits on its power other than what Congress itself believes to be the good of the nation.

The word "all" is rather daunting, but Jackson at various times was a public prosecutor,

a representative to the US Congress, a US Senator,a Judge of the TN superior court,

a major general, the territorial governor of Florida , and the President of the US.

General Stonewall Jackson was accidentally shot by one of his own men.

Jackson was a two-term President and won a plurality of popular and electoral votes in 1824, but did not get the required majority , so the House chose the President and they elected J.Q. Adams. Jackson was also famous for winning the Battle of New Orleans against the British and pretty much ending any Indian threat in the South.

Andrew Jackson survived an assassination attempt in Washington D.C. on January 30, 1835. He was leaving the Capitol building after attending a funeral when Richard Lawrence fired a pistol at him twice. Because the pistol misfired both times, it missed hitting Jackson who then proceeded to hit the would-be-assassin with his cane.

Jackson served 2 terms which is 8 years. He didn't want to have a longer term than the Presidents before him, so he didn't sign for another term even though he probably would have won.

Andrew Jackson fought the Seminole Indians in southern George and Florida. The Seminoles never surendered and are still are in charge of their own lands in Florida in and around the Everglades.

The last name Anderson is a Scottish and northern English name. It means son or relative of Ander, a northern Middle English form of Andrew. The surname was common among 18th-century Scotch-Irish settlers in PA and VA.

He argued that they were against the constitution.

demanding that gold and silver should be used to buy land.

Family: Married (wife's name unknown); children: three.

$25,000 annually (about $566,000 in today's dollar).

Jackson was the son of poor immigrants from Ireland, had little formal education and lived on the frontier in Western Tennessee. Upper class people were uncertain of what he might do if he became president and his Western friends and supporters took on positions of power in the government. I think people always tend to fear change even if they are not sure that it will be harmful. In fact there is an expression: "A known evil is better than than an unknown good,".

People were hired onto the cabinet according to their political loyalties, or personal connections. Whenever a new president came into office, the people that were previously hired were fired and the new president hired on new people. They did this so they wouldn't oppose the policies of the president.

President Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act. This caused the Native Americans to lose their land. This lead to fights between the Americans and Indians. Jackson also ordered all the money from the national bank to be put in state banks. He believed that poor people should be able to borrow money from the banks. Therefore, the national bank closed down.

Hoped this helped! :D

Jackson was succeeded by Martin VanBuren who served in his cabinet and was a personal friend. It was not customary for sitting presidents to try to influence the choice of their successors, but Jackson did so anyway and got some heat for it.

Jackson was no ordinary frontiersman by the time he ran for President. He was an experienced lawyer, plantation owner and successful major general . He worked hard ,but probably no harder than did Adams. He was not nearly as well-educated or as well-traveled as Adams and in that sense was more like the backwoods people.
