Andrew Jackson Nationalism
Andrew Jackson's eight years in presidency were characterized by a strong nationalism feeling, tyranny and a constant fight with the Judicial and Legislative branches .
His nationalism had this tragedy face which was carried out through the Indian Removal Act of 1830. In the other hand is the strong leader face but not so kind which did not let South Carolina succeed by threatening them.
He had a strong personality and if people would not do what he wanted he simply would fired them, as he proved it by changing four times secretary of state and five times secretary of treasury.
Due that he was acclaimed for being a nation's hero and the people's president he give himself too much power and for instance, to the POTUS by overrating Supreme

    In 1829, Andrew Jackson was elected to be the 7th president. His promises were big, his changes were small such as equality democracy and true representation. This was not the lack of Jackson's ambition or drive, but the outcome of the many different challenges he faced. Now taking all this into consideration as I weigh out his pros and cons assessing Jackson's presidency. In my own opinion, his presidency was good nor bad, it was an even balance between keeping his promises, and dealing with presidential issues. His term is commonly know as the "Age of Jackson Democracy"; The irony in theses names is that it was simply those who supported Jackson meeting up together; it was not meant to be the start of forming presidential parties. In Mistakes…

    The years between 1829 and 1837 have been called "Age of Jacksonian Democracy" as well as "The Era of the Common Man." However, these titles were not necessarily correct as America was far from a democracy; women could not vote and were still inferior to men, free blacks were still considered below white citizens, and slavery was growing in the south. Jackson was a highly controversial president, for good reason due to his massacre of thousands, but was actually a great American and president who attempted to protect individual liberty, the Constitution, political democracy, and promote equality of economic opportunity.…

    While in office, he had to make some awful decisions by creating new criminal punishment systems that were practically using pillories. The worst part of his decisions is when he ordered complete destruction of some secessionist states that had been newly formed the time after the government made the decision of bugging out of the west Rookies which led to death of many American citizens. This signifies that the decision one makes may or may not been the rightful choice but throughout the novel, he is praised for being a president that was able to shoulder such a crushing burden to the nation at large.

    When Jackson came to power in 1829 he promised much, advocating equality, democratic change, morality in government and true representation. However Jackson's success or failure as a president is shown by what he actually did. The thesis of this essay is that despite the variety of issues faced by Jackson he didn't actually bring about much change. This could be interpreted as failure but his legacy as a strong president, as a symbol of US democracy, and also the devotion of the people to him, does perhaps counter the failings. Failure might constitute not meeting one's promises but Jackson's ambiguity and inconsistency on many issues make it hard to judge his performance. I would not say he was completely successful or unsuccessful but rather advocate a mixture of both.…

    He worked hard, and he remained true to this phrase, “One of the greatest mysteries in the world is the success that lies in conscientious work.” (Coolidge) One of the reasons for his ambition was to impress his father. He wanted to become a proud man like his father was, and this was the fuel that lead him to the presidency. I don’t believe I possess ambition in the same way he did, but my ambition lies on proving to my family that I can become something great. I don’t want to outdo my family, but I guess I want them to be proud of my own successes. I want to prove to them that, yes, I went to college, yes, I graduated, and yes, I will go into a career that is not only successful but is something that I will enjoy doing. I’m not sure if President Coolidge loved his job, he often described it as “stressful”, but he never left it. He could have continued as a lawyer, but the fact that he stayed in politics is enough proof that he had a passion for it, or at least developed it along the way. I hope to grow the same way he did, and eventually learn to grow a passion for my future field of…

    Andrew Jackson was elected as the 7th president of the United States from 1829-1837. During his time of presidency, it was known as the Jacksonian era. The states wanted more people to participate in politics so they eliminated the qualification office-holding. At this time most white men, women, and African American had no rights to speak in politics unless they were qualified to. This was the age of triumphant nationalism, economic growth, social perfectionism, cultural romanticism and the beginning of an era of divisive sectionalism. Jacksonian era promoted equality rights throughout the United States.…
