Andrew Jackson

"Andrew Jackson, from Tennessee, was a forceful proponent of Indian removal. In 1814 he commanded the U.S. military forces that defeated a faction of the Creek nation. In their defeat, the Creeks lost 22 million acres of land in southern Georgia and central Alabama. The U.S. acquired more land in 1818 when, spurred in part by the motivation to punish the Seminoles for their practice of harboring fugitive slaves, Jackson's troops invaded Spanish Florida. From 1814 to 1824, Jackson was instrumental in negotiating nine out of eleven treaties which divested the southern tribes of their eastern lands in exchange for lands in the west."

The Internet consensus seems to be that it was James Monroe, but I cannot find any pictures of him that look like he was wearing a wig. Maybe he wore one on formal occasions when he was a young man. His predecessor, James Madison, certainly wore wigs.

Some say it was John Quincy Adams... others say James Monroe.

According to a biography on James Monroe:

"Monroe was the last U.S. President to wear a powdered wig and knee breeches according to the men's fashion of the eighteenth century."

Second inauguration of Andrew Jackson happened on 1833-03-04.

settlers in the south who wanted land for cotton farming

Andrew Jackson received the most support from Southern Farmers in the 1824 election.

Andrew Jackson was popular because the people saw him as someone just like them.

And he treated all people the same and understood their needs. He saw blacks and whites as equals and respected the lower class people.

Jackson did not want the anti-slavery issue to pop up during the 1836 election. This extended to the recognition of the Republic of Texas. As the new government had legalized slavery after winning independence from Mexico over the issue, Jackson waited to recognize the Republic of Texas until after his partyÕs candidate Martin Van Buren was elected before recognizing it and appoint a charge dÕaffaires.

well it depends on how you look at it. in my opinoin he should be hated because he only cause harm to other for example the indian. he did not care what the supreme court did to protect them but only wanted people to follow what he said. as a president he should have known better. who the hell takes peoples land just because others are nagging. i think he shouldn't even be in the 20 dollar bill

Andrew Jackson was tough; that's why he was known as "Old Hickory". He was physically tough, mentally tough and emotionally tough. Politically and militarily he was aggressive, self-confident, persistent, loyal, honorable, belligerent and stubborn; he was visionary and amazingly charismatic. Physically he was tall and skinny, 6 feet 1 inch tall (extremely tall for men of that time) and never more than 140 pounds. In his family life he was kindly and loving. He was devoted to his wife Rachel. The two of them adopted a nephew and adopted an orphaned Creek Indian boy; they also raised eight other children as guardians.

Andrew Jackson was popular because the people saw him as someone just like them.

And he treated all people the same and understood their needs. He saw blacks and whites as equals and respected the lower class people.

Jackson was disliked because he 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.

Native Americans lost a large amount of land.

He didn't annex Texas because he was more inclined to keep peace with his own country over adding land to it. By annexing Texas he would have been adding to the area and strength of slavery power which was completely opposed by the North. He would also be getting the country involved in a war with Mexico for "taking" Texas from them, even though citizens of Texas wanted to be annexed into the US.

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.

The seventh President of the United States, Andrew Jackson was elected by popular vote and dubbed 'people's president. He would often appeal directly to the common people to press Congress into passing laws. For the first time in history, Jackson paid off the entire national in January 1835.

Tito Jackson son of Katherine and Joe Jackson lost actually his ex-wife Delores in a freak accidental drowning in a neighbor's pool they were divorced at the time of her death. I love the Jackson's remember it like it was yesterday.

no he is not bcth

John Quincy Adams

Andrew Jackson replaced a large number of government workers. In those days, before the Civil Service Act, far more government positions were appointed by the President. Before Jackson, the lower level appointees were mostly left in place when the administration changed. so there was much protest from people who lost their jobs when Jackson replaced with his supporters. Nowadays, lower level jobs are protected by Civil Service.

I think this happened only once ,on the evening of his first inauguration when the

party that was held at the White House became unruly, a virtual mob scene . Hundreds

broke into the White House and virtually trashed the ground floor. Jackson fled to his

old living quarters in a hotel.

He won the presidential elections of 1828 and again in 1832.

the rich and well-born

If there is a picture of Andrew Jackson on a US $10 bill, it is counterfeit. Andrew Jackson is on the US $20 bill. Alexander Hamilton is on the $10 bill.

==========

Actually Andrew Jackson's face appeared on the $10 bill for awhile. In the current series,

he was moved to the $20 bill, replacing Grover Cleveland. They kept the same portrait

of Jackson .

Jackson became a national hero after his overwhelming victory at the Battle of New Orleans. Not only was he a winner in the war, but he was a frontiersman, easy for the common people to identify with and admire as a leader.

Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States. He was the first unwealthy president, so that's why he is different from other ones.
