Andrew Jackson’s Presidency In my opinion‚ Andrew Jackson did not help the United States during his terms as president. A good president‚ I think‚ should improve the country’s economy‚ end his term with healthy international relationships‚ obey the Constitution‚ and be honest‚ along with other things.

action? The curse of nationalism is something that shouldn’t have taken so much control of the nation. Woodrow Wilson tried his best to stay neutral‚ and the reasons he declared war were not necessarily necessary. Germany was trying convince Mexico to join the war against America‚ but America didn’t have to worry about Mexico with it’s strength. America never had to enter the war‚ but because of pride‚ threats‚ and fear‚ America ended up making the wrong decision. Nationalism is an extreme form of
