What presidents admired president Andrew Jackson?

I do not know what answer you are looking for. I find it hard to believe that there are any presidents who did not admire Jackson more after they had been in office for awhile. Despite ill health and the loss of his wife just before he took office and disputes with his family, he stood up to Congress for what he believed was right and eventually prevailed on practically everything he fought for.

Why did Andrew Jackson send troops to the border of South Carolina?

Of course its about money. It started way back in with the Tariff of 1816. England dumped a lot of cheap goods into the American economy. The Americans wanted no part " cheap imports" ( heard this before...like Chinese cheap stuff) So congress wanted " protectionism" that is " importers must pay high tarriffs" that would make the USA stuff cheap and the imports more expensive. It didn't work. In 1824 they increased the tarriff's by 30%. The South didn't like the tarriffs. They sent raw goods to England and then they had to pay a high price to get back the " finished textiles" etc. In 1828 The British told the South, " We ain't buy'n your cotton...no more." So panic instilled in the Southern Cotton Growers. So in 1833 Congress..( being more heavily represented by Northern industrialists who liked the tarriffs to build more infrastructure ..but didn't want war said, " Ok, we'll reduce the tarriff ( but only a bit) South Carolina and the representatives of that state were tired of giving their money to Northern Industrialists.. so they said, " We don't want to play your games anymore. We'll have our own country, our own laws and we'll sell our stuff to whomever we want.." Needless to say, that didn't go over well so Andrew Jackson sent Federal Troops to South Carolina to warn those Southerns, " You will pay with money or you'll pay with blood."

He believed that the bank was only helping the poor in the country and that the bank exercised to much control over member of congress and favored northern states where most finance was located.

What was Andrew Jackson's political phillosophy based on?

I am not sure that he really had any poiltical philosophy when he first sought the presidency- I think it was a more a matter of keeping Clay, Adams and other enemies out.

Bur eventually , he became a believer in a more direct form of democracy than was set by the constitution. He advocated the direct election of senators and even of supreme court justices, and for the election of the president. He also wanted term limits and shorter terms for some offices.

This president's nickname was old hickory George Washington John Adams Thomas Jefferson Andrew Jackson?

What did John C Calhoun do after is vice presidency?

He became a Senator, and defended the rights of states. Also defended the rights of the minority party (pretty much like a modern 'senate minority leader'). and he supported slavery. He served in the Senate until his death in 1850.

(Random true story I read about him, while dying of Tuberculosis he forced himself to arrive at the Senate to hear his friend as well as political rival Daniel Webster speak....this was one of the last times he was able to make it to the Senate. I thought that was a sweet friendship :) that was in John C.Calhoun: American Portrait)

Was Andrew Jackson violent?

How did Andrew Jackson's actions lead many southerners to the whig party?

Jackson's big Southern problem was with South Carolina which led a sort of rebellion against the tariff which protected Northern industry at the expense of southern cotton farming.

These people proposed a doctrine of nullification which would allow any state to nullify any federal law which they found to be objectionable. Closely related to that idea was the idea that if things got too bad, states could secede from the union and become independent nations. Jackson believed that it was his duty as president to oppose nullification and certainly to disallow succession.

Interestingly, in the background was the issue of slavery. Southern states believed that it the federal government could impose damaging tariffs against their strong objections, that in due time it could abolish slavery. Jackson was not a threat to abolish slavery since he had over a 100 of his own.
