Andrew Jackson

he was a good soldier and he was also a good man in America he had a good life a good family and he did allot of good deeds for the country and he was a big hero of the United states of America.

Her name was Emily Donelson. She was the wife of his wife's nephew, who served as Jackson's private secretary. They both lived in the Whitehouse with Jackson, whose wife died the December before he took office.

Jackson implemented the "spoils system", to strengthen party loyalty, and many federal employees were replaced with friends and party members.

Another notable crisis during Jackson's period of office was the "Nullification Crisis", or "secession crisis," of 1828 - 1832, which merged issues of sectional strife with disagreements over tariffs. Critics alleged that high tariffs (the "Tariff of Abominations") on imports of common manufactured goods made in Europe made those goods more expensive than ones from the northern U.S., raising the prices paid by planters in the South. Southern politicians argued that tariffs benefited northern industrialists at the expense of southern farmers.

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of Jackson's presidency was his policy regarding American Indians, which involved the ethnic cleansing of several Indian tribes. Many American Indians consider Andrew Jackson the Adolph Hitler of American history.

Nullification refers to a state's ability to ignore (nullify) acts of Congress. Jackson's actions in the nullification crisis suggests hebelieved in the limited use of federal power but also that states were not truly sovereign.

president Andrew Jackson had one sister

Peggy O'Neale Timberlake, a bar hostess with something of a reputation, married John Eaton, Jackson's Secretary of War . Mrs. Calhoun considered her trash, would not socialize with her, nor anyone who did. Jackson thought his cabinet and the vice-president and their wives should be friendly with each other. Later, when Calhoun was in the Senate, he and Jackson disagreed on the right of a state to secede from the union.

He was the first person from the West elected to the presidency.

There are conflicting numbers concerning Dickenson's dueling record. Some say it's over 20 kills but I found info on just the Jackson duel. Going into the duel, Dickenson was completely confident that he would be the victor, Jackson was equally confident in his own shooting ability. For those who bet a wager, Dickenson was the favorite to win. He was younger, faster and a more accurate shot. It seems Dickenson's luck ran out. Although Dickenson wounded Jackson, missing his heart by less than 1/2 inch, Jackson finished cocking his pistol and hit his opponent in the abdomin. Dickenson died shortly thereafter. What is known though, Jackson himself had dueled no less than a dozen times before his confrontation with Dickenson. He may not have been the fastest or even the most accurate, but he certainly seemed to be very lucky.

Andrew Jackson's election marked a new era in US political power. Jackson was the first president who was not tied to the founding fathers. He was the first president from the western frontier. His election was the first in which the more recent immigrants and settlers of the frontier exerted enough political power to elect a president. Jackson's defeat in 1824 and subsequent election in 1828 marked the beginning of national political parties.

it was a private monopoly run by a privileged few

The Cross of Gold Speech

While Jefferson considered himself as part of the “natural aristocrats, Jacksonian Democracy can be considered an outgrowth of Jefferson’s ideas that the people should rule. The Jacksonian Democratic movement was also the consequence of the growth and energy of the nation during the 1830s and 1840s. Prosperity meant more people could consider politics. Politicians and participation in politics grew. There was an increase in education available to citizens and the right to vote was being extended, especially in the west. Jackson believed in the ability of the “common man” to participate in government. He made use of the spoils system to reward his supporters. Jacksonian Democracy believed in equal opportunity extended to white males. The attitude towards women, children, Blacks, and Indians were typical of the time. Jacksonian Democracy also believed in the supremacy of the power of the national government over states’ rights advocates.

Jackson went to Florida to stop the Seminoles from running across the border to

make raids and then escape back into Florida for safety. He also wanted to stop

the runaway slaves who had a fort in Florida and did the muich same as the Seminoles.

There was contention about the tariff which the Northeastern states wanted, but

the Southern states hated.

There was the problem about what to do with the Indians in the Southern states.

Slavery was a problem-- should it be expanded into the new western states?

Should it be abolished altogether?

I do not know which two you think are "major"

Andrew Jackson moved the Native Americans to Florida, as in the Trail of Tears

He argued that any mentally competent person could perform adequately in most government jobs, so there was no reason not to appoint people that he knew and liked to these jobs.

The US president that was born in a town called Caldwell was Grover Cleveland. He is the only president to have served two non-consecutive terms, serving as the 22nd, and 24th president.

He was the Military Governor of Florida in 1821 and the Defender of New Orleans in 1815. Well can you be more specfic Is there anything else that he did to become a National Hero A NATIONAL HERO, NOT a war hero

Jackson died on June 8, 1845 at his home near Nashville.

because hes dumb haha

it was for thew slaves and had the right to judge like we do

Jackson distrusted the Second Bank of the United States because he felt it had too much power when it came to controlling the economy. He also thought it worked to keep the common man down.
