What did president Andrew Jackson destroyed this by vetoing he renewal of its charter?
Jackson destroyed the Second National Bank of the United States by vetoing the renewal of its charter. He felt that the bank only made the rich richer, allowed for foreign interests in the United States, had too much power over congress, and favored northeastern states over western and southern states. With the void caused by the banks demise all investments were placed in local and state banks. Later Jackson would cause the Panic of 1837 by issuing an executive order called Specie Circular. This order made only gold and silver valid for purchasing public lands rather than paper money. This led to a run on the local and state banks who did not have enough gold and silver to exchange for the people's money. These smaller banks now had no choice but to close because of they no longer had any gold or silver in their accounts. With no banks to issue credit this caused a deep and long depression.

Why did Andrew Jackson want Fort Negro demolished?
Andrew Jackson knew that the Indians and Blacks were launching raids against the American frontier settlements, killing and scalping families and taking their cattle and horses.
It was necessary to sail past the Negro Fort to re-supply American Fort Scott farther up the river, with food and supplies. Jackson's orders for Gen. Gaines were to destroy the Negro fort IF they fired on the supply ships, which they did. A lucky shot, a red-hot cannon ball entered the powder magazine and the fort was destroyed in a massive explosion heard 100 miles away at Pensacola.
When soldiers entered nearby Fowltown after everyone had fled, there was a red pole in the center of town with 150 or so scalps of white men, women and children from babies to the elderly hanging on it and also on one in the Chief's home.
The remaining Indians fled farther south, away from the American borders and the frontier was much safer from then on.
That is another reason why Andrew Jackson was considered such a hero back then.

What high school did Andrew Jackson go to?
There were no "high schools" in Andrew Jackson's time. If there were any kind of schools available, they would have been small, multi-grade schoolhouses that probably ended at the 8th grade (however, an 8th grade final exam from 1895--much past Jackson's time-- contained questions that baffled personally known University grads who tried to answer them). Home schooling, apprenticeships, "reading the law", were the means of education probably until after the Civil War (not sure about that, just an educated guess).
What was Jackson's response to the court ruling when the Cherokee began living in Georgia?
The Cherokee didn't "begin living in Georgia," they were there before white people. The State of Georgia wanted to remove the Native Americans from their ancestral land and relocate them in less desirable territory west of the Mississippi River.
President Jackson allegedly said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it," meaning the Court had no power to enforce its decisions and the federal government wasn't going to help the Cherokee Nation. Some historians dispute the claim that Jackson actually made the above statement, although he wrote something similar in a letter to a friend.

Why was Andrew Jacksons lose in the previous election so controversial?
This election loss was so controversial because of what has been come to be known in United States History as the Corrupt Bargain. There were four candidates for the Presidency, and following the Constitution at the time, no candidate received a majority vote, and therefore the vote was brought to the House of Representatives. After the election, Jackson was the clear leader, with 99 electoral votes. However, Henry Clay, the Speaker of the House, a presidential candidate drop-out, used his influence to bring John Quincy Adams to his presidency, in an undocumented and unrecorded bargain in which he would receive what was at that time the most important position in the government short of president, Secretary of State.
