Andrew Jackson

Andrew Johnson was not a church member. His wife was a Methodist and he attended church with her sometimes. He also went to Catholic and Baptist services on occasion.

Charles Curtis (born January 25, 1860 in Topeka, Kansas; died February 8, 1936 in Washington DC) succeeded Charles M. Dawes as the thirty-first Vice-President of the United States, serving between March 4, 1929 and March 4, 1933.

Following the end of Charles Curtis' term as Vice-President, John Nance Garnet (born November 22, 1868 in Red River Conty, Texas; died November 7, 1967 in Uvalde, Texas) became the thirty-second Vice-President of the United States, serving between March 4, 1933 and January 20, 1941.

What do you Think? Based on my Opinion Andrew Jackson had caused death of Indians. He forced Native American off their territory and tortured them to walk the Trail of Tears. :( Why was he ever put on the 20?????????

he was a bad criminal he was in jail for kissing somebodies butt

. He only put his friends in government jobs. This was known as the "spoil system".

. He killed many Native americans.

. He exercised his power in government by ignoring two branches of government.

-he was a slave owner

. He broke campaign promises

ex/ said supported state gov over fed. gov....ended up expanding fed gov

He fought strongly to get the second bank of the US abolished.

He fought the doctrine of nullification espoused mostly by SC ,because he believed it would destroy the federal union if carred to its logical conclusion.

The tariff was the big impetus for SC's espousal of nullification. Jackson tried to find a compromise reduction of the tariff which would satisfy both sides, but he was not entirely successful.

He fought for requiring cash (specie) payments for buying federal lands and he worked successfully to balance the federal budget and pay back the national debt.

Andrew Jackson is an interesting president in that he is subject to much folk lore.

Most sources agree that Jackson participated in 13 duels over his lifetime, and killed only one man, Charles Dickinson.

His nickname was "Old Hickory" for being tough as hickory when he either fought in battles or was just in a usually fight.

He was shot two inches from his heart and didnt go to the doctors or anything. He kept it in his chest till the day he died. Also, he was once slashed by a British Officer when he was a child after he and his brother were captured by the British. The officer commanded Andrew Jackson to shine the officer's shoes but when Jackson refused, the British officer hit him with his sword that left a huge scar on his chest.

Your Welcome :-)

The U.S. Vice President during John Quincy Adams' term and most of Andrew Jackson's first term was John C. Calhoun. John C. Calhoun was the running mate of both John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson in the 1824 election, which is why he had enough votes to be elected while none of the presidential candidates did. In 1828 he ran only with Andrew Jackson; John Quincy Adams' running mate was Richard Rush. Also, John C. Calhoun was one of only two U.S. Vice Presidents to resign the office; Calhoun did so in December of 1832.

The Vice President during Andrew Jackson's second term was Martin Van Buren, one of only four people who served a full term as U.S. Vice President immediately before serving a full term as U.S. President.

There is no good, justifiable reason as to why he was put on the twenty dollar bill ahead of other Presidents. He was the one who fought so hard to kill the nation bank and when he finally had it defeated, he decided to make it suffer. He is also responsible for the blatant genocide of thousands of native Americans. He openly deified a Supreme Court ruling (see Worcester v. Georgia) by send 7,000 troops to round up the natives and removed from this nation. He should have been impeached, but instead we put his face on a federal reserve (national bank) note. That's pure irony.

One of Andrew Jackson's brothers was named Robert Jackson.

Andrew Jackson easily won the 1828 presidential election. He won both the popular vote and a majority of electoral votes which allowed him to easily take the lead. The reason he gained so many votes was because he was extremely tough. Jackson was nicknamed "Old Hickory" because of his toughness and aggressive personality. After winning the 1828 election he won the following election using the same old tactics.

Yes

Andrew Johnson helped reunite the Union, but he did not give protections to former slaves. Andrew Johnson was the first President to be impeached.

The "chosen class" was everyone and no one. Jackson himself was once poor, and therefore could sympathize with struggling Americans. During his presidency, classes became less-distinguished and the "common man" emerged as (in terms of "class") a middle-class industrial worker.

Andrew Jackson appealed to his voters because he was a war hero in the War of 1812.

Your question calls for a value judgment and so is really a matter of opinion, but I think his biggest contribution was to move the Presidency away from the old wealthy aristocratic establishment along the coast and to the people who had moved West, recently cleared land and endured the hardships of the frontier. He thus gave the common people more of a voice in the federal government. Andrew Jackson was also the father of our modern banking system and his Indian policy m made the the "Trail of Tears" possible which forced Native Americans to leave the East Coast and go to Oklahoma. Jackson also averted a civil war. South Carolina declared it had the power to annul federal laws, specifically an unpopular tariff. Jackson declared this an unconstitutional decision and his resolve held the South Carolina government at bay.

Jackson thought that under the Constitution, Congress had no authority to charter a National Bank. Further he saw evidence that the bank, which could make loans to individuals, engaged in political activity, making favorable loans to people in power in order to gain privileges for its officers. Consequently he pressured Congress to not renew its charter, which they did in 1832. However the charter was not set to expire until 1836. Rather than wait for the bank to "die a natural death" i, he ordered the Secretary of the Treasury to withdraw all federal funds from the bank in 1834 in order to hasten its demise.

I do not think that anyone thinks the spoils system is a good idea, surely not Jackson.

However he did think that 4 years was about the right time for a civil servant to keep his

job and public servants should be rotated, lest they become corrupt. Jackson became

president at a time when the previous party had been in power for a long time and so he

thought was time to "clean house'. He removed a lot of the old Republicans who thought

they were fixtures and their protests led to the charge that Jackson was in favor of the

spoils system.

(Nowadays, not so many governments jobs are filled by appointment- we have a civil

service systems that fill many lower jobs by merit on examinations,independent of the

president.)

A significant reason Andrew Jackson appealed to common people was because he had been a common person himself. He reflected many of their beliefs.

Andrew Jackson's kitchen cabinet was him taking advice not from his cabinet, but his trusted friends and political supporters. it was called the "kitchen cabinet" because they were said to meet in the White House kitchen. they met in the white house to discuss how to improve the cabinet

First President not bornn in Virginia or Massachusetts- Andrew Jackson born in the Waxhaws area on the border of North and South Carolina.

He was not nearly as well educated as the 6 presidents before him.

He mostly taught himself but had some elementary tutoring and worked in

two law offices in order to learn to be a lawyer.

He wanted average citizens to be more involved in government decisions.
