Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States of America, can be debated as either a good president or bad president. But if one were to weigh out the positives and negatives of Andrew Jackson’s presidency, one would realize that his positives outweigh his negatives for a variety of historic facts. Andrew Jackson was a good president because he represented the majority of America’s people by being a common, prevented a civil war when South Carolina threatened to secede from the nation, and because he technically found or instigated the two major parties used in America today (Democratic and Republican). Many Jackson oppositionists despise him because of he is a hypocrite, however America was founded on hypocrisy so as an American leader it is justified to be a hypocrite.…

Being decided by the House of Representation, the election of 1824 led to John Quincey Adams becoming the President instead of Andrew Jackson. This marked a time when a candidate with the most electoral votes did not win, and the victor did not win the popular vote. The Corrupt Bargain led to tension between Adams and the Jacksonians in Congress. Culturally, the Second Great Awakening was in full effect during this time with Methodists and Baptists preaching to slaves and slave-owners in the south. To a dramatic extent, Andrew Jackson supported the common man by dismissing the national bank and creating the Specie Circular; however, the economy would still prosper off manufacturing in the north and farming in the south. Socially, he would appeal to the common man through the removal of Indians.…

In this essay “Adams v. Jackson: The Election of 1824”, author Edward G. Lengel discusses the each of the presidential candidates including Adams, Jackson, Clay, and Crawford, as well as their similarities and differences going into the election of 1824. One of the main points of discussion is the idea that this election had candidates all from the same party, the Democratic-Republican Party. Even though, all the candidates technically held the same fundamental beliefs, there were many factions inside this “one party”. Lengel then goes on to explain how in this election in particular, candidates were particularly underhanded and used the media to make false claims against other candidates to degrade that candidate’s reputation for example the idea that Adams “didn’t wear underclothes”.…

The presidential election of 1828 brought a great victory for Andrew Jackson. Not only did he get almost 70 percent of the votes cast in the electoral college, but popular participation soared to an unheard amount of 60 percent. Along with Jackson, came Jacksonian democracy also known as “The Age of the Common Man” which impacted further advances in political process by the “common man” and minorities, the economic stability of the nation, and the status of the Union and sectionalism. These impacts were caused by the end of white men voting restrictions, creation of the spoils system, vetoing of National Bank policies, distribution of currency to smaller banks, fair laws for states and enforcing Indian Removal from lands in the West.…

Andrew Jackson's election was caused, in part, by the sectional differences between the north and the west and south. Andrew Jackson was representative of the west and south in his virtues and views on national policy prior to entering office. He was for no tariffs and states rights in general. This meant that the majority of southern and western states supported him and allowed him to win a majority vote in the Electoral College. While his election was effected by sectional differences, his policies were not so much affected because of a rapid turn around to a federalist look of government and supporting the north in most every aspect. Andrew Jackson's election, if not presidency, was greatly affected by sectional divisions.…
Like any hall of fame, its inductees are the best in whatever they do, from baseball or football to something like being President. If you are a member of any hall of fame (including the one for the Presidents), it means that you have done something special or have a certain quality about yourself that makes you worthy to be in a hall of fame. My nominee for the Presidents hall of Fame is our seventh President of the United States, Andrew Jackson. I'll go over his presidency, focusing on both the highs and the lows of his two terms in office, from 1829-1837. The issues that I'll focus on are states' rights, nullification, the tariff, the spoils system, Indian removal and banking policies; these controversies brought forth strong rivalry over his years of president. He was known for his iron will and fiery personality, and strong use of the powers of his office that made his years of presidency to be known as the "Age of Jackson." Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767, in a settlement on the border of North and South Carolina. He was orphaned at age 14. After studying law and becoming a member of the Bar in North Carolina later he moved to Nashville Tennessee. Their he became a member of a powerful political faction led by William Blount. He was married in 1791 to Rachel Donelson Robards, and later remarried to him due to a legal mistake in her prior divorce in 1794. Jackson served as delegate to Tenn. in the 1796 Constitutional convention and a congressman for a year (from 1796-97). He was elected senator in 1797, but financial problems forced him to resign and return to Tennessee in less than a year. Later he served as a Tennessee superior court judge for six years starting in 1798. In 1804 he retired from the bench and moved to Nashville and devoted time to business ventures and his plantation. At this time his political career looked over. In 1814 Jackson was a Major General in the Tennessee Militia, here he was ordered to march…
