Essay/Term paper: Another andrew jackson

Essay, term paper, research paper:  Political Science

Andrew Jackson, the

seventh president of the United states, was born on March

15, 1767, in the Waxhaw settlement on the western frontier

of South Carolina. Jackson was orphaned at the age of 14

and was brought up by his uncle. Jackson was born into a

poor family. When his parents died, he went to live with his

Uncle, who was a wealthy slave and land owner. As a result,

Jackson moved among wealthy people and property

owners, who monopolized the prestige and political influence

in the back country. So now he could see what the different

lives between the rich and the poor, he became really

popular by the common people and also was considered

part of the political movement and he led what was know as

the Jacksonian Democracy. He could see that the wealthy

were huge land owners or industrialized families, and the

poor families were small farmers. Jackson was the type who

wanted the land to be all American. Dealing with the Native

American policy, he forcibly removed southern tribes from

lands guaranteed then by federal treaties and the United

States Supreme Court decisions. Doing this gave him great

power and led the United States to a bigger nation, but what

does that say about the United States words. Because of

them, the Indians could not trust them any more. Jackson

was also against slavery. Even Modern historians observe

that Jackson was a large slave owner and that his party was

the enemy of free blacks and their rights. He was so against

African Americans, they denied anti-slavery pamphlets in the

United States Postal Service. I think the reason that he liked

slavery so much was because that his Uncle was a large

slave owner and he found that they are very useful and could

help make money a whole lot faster and cheaper then regular

labor. If Jackson was against slavery, I feel that the Slavery

issue would have ended a lot faster then it did in the

American History. Jackson did do a lot for the country and

also made the common people feel like they have a place in

today society. If it was just rich people running the country,

the rich people would do just what was good for them and

not for everyone. That way, the poor people have a chance

in the society that was so hard to control. Slavery was not

cooled down during his presidency, but it did not get worse

at least. Jackson showed a strong presidency during his term

and lead America in a good direction to follow. Sometimes

America needs a change in Rich vs Poor presidents.
