Andrew Jackson

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.

Theres more point and its a debatable topic if it was right or not by vetoing the readmission of the bank.

He did for a relatively short time and then moved on to Tennessee which was actually part of North Carolina territory before it became a state.

Angelu de Leon is the wife of him... i looked it up on google and it said that so yeah i guess she is.

Stonewall Jackson's half-brother was named Edward Jackson. Edward was the son of their father, Jonathan Jackson, and his second wife, Mary, making him a half-sibling to Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, whose mother was Jonathan's first wife, Elizabeth. The two brothers had a close relationship during their lives.

He and the other six presidents all owned plantations and many slaves.

Yes, he did.

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.

Andrew Jackson Clements was born in 1832.

Jackson's Hermitage is on the outskirts of Nashville, TN.

Andrew Jackson's nickname was "Hickory", later in life he was often referred to as "Old Hickory"

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)

well, he was a war general, so he must have been.

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.

He got rid of the 2nd US bank

he paid off some of the national debt

he helped get us Florida

he drove the British out of New Orleans

he helped negotiate Texas coming into the Union

he returned us to a Specie standard

Jackson got rid of the Bank because he saw this as a monopoly for the rich to get richer and Jackson was in support of the commonwealth people.

Although Jackson lowered the national debt, he did not actually pay off the debt. Jackson got it to only about $33 million dollars, the lowest it had ever been since the Jacksonian Era. Jackson although having good intentions, caused the panic of 1837 due to the destruction of the Bank.

The practice of Specie Circular which was the use of only gold or silver for currency.

President Andrew Johnson was impeached over a violation of the Tenure of Office Act by firing Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War. The act stated he could not dismiss a member of his cabinet without the approval of Congress.
