    The presidents have always played a crucial role in American politics and are known for their roles in unifying the nation. They are glorified for their charisma and ability to lead, but even these brilliant men make economic, political, and social blunders. Andrew Jackson, who was in office from 1829-1837, was a president of many firsts as he was the first frontier president, first to have a “kitchen cabinet”, and first to use a pocket veto. Jackson was later succeeded by his vice president, Martin Van Buren. Van Buren, who was in office from 1837-1841, was known for his shrewd political skills. Both these men laid down the foundations for a stronger, more centralized national government with methods that garnered mixed responses.…

    “The 1828 election stimulated party formation because instead of several sectional candidates, each dominant in his own region, competing for the presidency, it pitted two nationally known men against each other.” (251) As a result, people had to choose a side and then organize forces to defend their side. The formation happened faster in “neutral” states where neither Jackson nor Adams had a lot of supporters as. (this connects with #5)…

    The president of the United States, one of the leading figures in the country, one who can make decisions and laws, some of which will determine the future of America for years to come, and one of their jobs is to help manage the country, especially in times of crisis. During the nineteenth and twentieth-centuries, many crises arose following the foundation of America, such as how Jackson managed the nullification crisis and preserved the Union, Abraham Lincoln’s approach to slavery issues with the Emancipation Proclamation, and the preservation of the Union once again during the Civil War, as well as Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal during the Great Depression that brought America into a national recovery. These three significant leaders, Jackson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt, effectively managed the issues they were presented throughout their individual presidencies, and made decisions that positively affected the future of America and its welfare.…

    Andrew Jackson ‘s political style and interest in popular concerns constituted a challenge for those on the opposite side of the political spectrum in his time. Indeed, their reaction to his movement was to attack it, both rhetorically and through the formation of an entirely new political party: the Whig Party. For example, critiquing the rhetorical style of the Jacksonians, Adams wrote in his diary that they were “skunks of party slander.” Generally speaking, he viewed Jacksonian politics as less than palatable. After all, his disdain for Jackson was clearly evident in his decision to boycott Jackson’s accepting of an honorary degree from Harvard University in 1833.…

    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.…

    After reading your post of Andrew Jackson, I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about his life. So after reading American Stories and other online sources, I learned some additional facts about his life, including the fact that at age 13, Jackson was captured and sent to prison.
