Andrew Jackson Essay
There are many things that set Andrew Jackson apart from other presidents. His policies and personality set him apart from most. Although he was the
seventh president, he was the first in many ways. Jackson was the first president to be born in a log cabin, and he was the first president to ride on a
railroad train. Along with that, he was the only president to serve in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
Andrew Jackson was also the first to have a vice–president (John C. Calhoun) resign, he was the first to marry a divorcee, he was the first to be
nominated at a national convention, the first to use an informal "Kitchen Cabinet" of advisors, and he was the first president to use the "pocket...show

The next year, Jackson was elected to be a U.S. senator by the Tennessee legislator. However, he only served on session before he resigned. Following
his resignation, he served six years on the Tennessee Supreme Court as a judge.
Jackson's military career resurfaced in 1802 when he was named major general of the Tennessee militia. Ten years later, he was give the rank of
major general of U.S. forces. In 1814, he was advanced to major general in the regular army.
General Andrew Jackson came out as a national hero after the War of 1812, mainly because of the defeat of the British at the Battle of New
Orleans. This was when Jackson received the nickname of "Old Hickory." He had been directed to march his troops to Mississippi, but upon their
arrival, they were told to disband because they were no longer needed. Jackson refused to disband, and proceeded to march his 2,500 troops back to
Tennessee. His strict discipline led his troops to call him "Old Hickory" because they believed him to be as tough as hickory wood, and the nickname
stuck.
Before Jackson's presidency, he was known as a great fighter who didn't let anyone mess with him. As stated in the Brittanica Encyclopedia, Charles
Dickinson once insulted Jackson's wife, Rachel Donelson Jackson, and Jackson challenged him to a duel with pistols. Andrew stood there

Essay about Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson was not plainly a common man or an aristocrat. He was in fact a combination of the two. Because he came into popularity on the
frontier and was not of aristocratic decent he is often considered to be a common man. However, many facts about his life do not coincide with this
stereotype. From the beginning of his career in Tennessee, he considered himself an aristocrat. As a result his tastes, manners and life style were shaped
accordingly. Although he considered himself, an aristocrat he was similar to thecommon man in that he could not spell and he lacked education and
culture. However, this was not unusual of aristocrats from the southwest region. Many of them were not born aristocrats but merely rose from middle or

The banks that had overextended themselves were forced to press their debtors to repay their loans. Through the process of foreclosure, banks and
particularly the national bank became absentee owners of Western and Southern property.Jackson who lived in the west saw what was happening and
consequently his resentment towards the national bank grew. Jackson also loathed the national bank for economic as well as political reasons. He
thought the law that had created the bank was unconstitutional. He criticized the bank for failing to establish a "uniform and sound"
currency. Jackson favored a "hard money" policy that was based strictly on currency, or gold and silver. Jackson also attacked the bank as
a monopoly. He said its vast powers threatened democratic government because it meddled in politics. All the events that Jackson experienced along
with his personal feelings helped him to make the decision to veto the bill that would charter the national bank for an additional term
In the early 1820’s Jackson’s military career had ended and there began talk of electing him as President. In 1824, the
presidential election took place. Four candidates all from the same party were running against each other because during this time we became primarily
a single party system. The candidates included Andrew Jackson, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and William H. Crawford. Although Andrew

Andrew Jackson Thesis
Andrew Cabrera Professor Rutledge POL 406 – Analytical Report #1 10/02/2017 Andrew Jackson together with his close friends during the
tumultuous times are the cornerstone and pillars of this wonderful book about someone who rose from rags to define the American presidency.
Hated and beloved, reviled and venerated, Jackson was a total orphan who was able to make his way to the apex of power bending the entire
nation to his desires of democracy. His election in 1828 sparked a new cycle in politics, where the people mattered more than the rich. During this
time, democracy was deeply rooted and embraced by many as it was seemed to be Jackson's priority to the American citizens. This gave the people
the voice to their country and eradicated the fears of restless, changing the country facing multiple domestic issues and enormous amounts of threats
from abroad. In a bid to tell the story of Jackson, Jon goes into the White House. Drawing upon family letters, he details the events, activities, and
people who shaped Jackson's world. Andrew Jackson was a significant person in the American history but dimly recalled. Jackson was a hard nut to
crack, battle–hardened, warrior and the founder of the Democratic Party. His story is one of sex, tragedy, violence, and courage. With his bravery,
connection to the people and powerful personality, he moved and shaped the White House from being an ordinary government house to the center of
national activities with well–articulated visions for

Essay on Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was born on March 15, 1767 in Waxhaw on the North Carolina–South Carolina border. He
is a controversial man who greatly impacted our country both during his presidency and long term. His actions may have been questioned at the time,
as some still are today, but his strong–willed chauvinism in democracy is just what our country needed to hold itself together. Jackson did not have a
typical family setting growing up. His father passed away before his birth, leaving his mother the single parent of three young boys. To help lighten the
burden of raising young children on her own, his mother moved in with her Crawford relatives. There Jackson attended school, attaining an...show more

It wasn't until 1794 that they were officially married after Mr. Robards agreed to a divorce. The promiscuity of their affair later hindered Jackson's
political career (Anderson et al. 207). However, at the time, Nashville didn't see anything wrong with the relationship between these two deeply
devoted lovers. Despite the accusations Jackson received concerning his questionable adulterous acts, they did not affect his impressive rise in
Tennessee politics. In 1795 he was delegated to the state constitutional convention and later Tennessee's first congressman and then senator. After his
first year as senator, Jackson resigned to accept a job closer to home, judge of Tennessee's superior court. Along his political ride, Jackson held his
share of outrageous quarrels. A hothead himself, Jackson was no foreigner to fights, brawls, or duels. Of these numerous encounters, the most
infamous began over a simple misunderstanding with Charles Dickinson over a horse race in 1806. This rift ended in a duel between the two men.
Dickinson, a marksman, fired the first shot and struck Jackson in the chest. Despite the wound, Jackson showed no sign of pain and instead aimed
precisely and fatally shot Dickinson (Stone 264). It was encounters such as this that "marked him as a violent and dangerous man, and helped block his
further political advance" ("Miller Center"). After his time in politics, Jackson craved service in the military. With probable enemies enclosing

Andrew Jackson Essay
Andrew Jackson
No one can argue that as a president, Jackson made no mistakes; however, they in no way disqualify him from having a place on the U.S. twenty
dollar bill. Jackson made every decision according to the will of the American people, even the more unsavory ones. He was a war hero that
exemplified the strength and tenacity by which America has defined itself over the generations. He acted in all ways with concern for the growth of the
American nation, both at home and overseas. Even his now unquestionably negative actions, such as the Indian Removal Act, were done at the time not
only in the interest of the citizens of the united states , but in regard (however misguided) to the survival of the Indian nations. It is this...show more

Although Jackson made many decisions with regard to the Native American population that are, with today's more broad interpretation of "all men",
considered immoral, he acted according the sentiment of the voting populace: that being "the Indians are on our land".
Jackson had a war record that makes him, even today, and example of the strength and tenacity of the United States . Jackson served in many
campaigns, both on behalf of the militia of his home state, Tennessee , and the U.S. military. It is with the U.S. military in the War of 1812 that
Jackson received his most famous victory; the Battle of New Orleans. There, on January 8, 1815 Jackson defended a British charge that resulted in
only 6 American deaths, but over 2,000 British deaths and injuries (Tregle). Jackson , and this battle in particular, became a symbol of the "distinctive
American strength" (Tregle) that we still prize today.
Jackson made every decision, not for personal gain, but in what he felt was the best interest of the United States . The ideals of westward expansion
(Manifest Destiny) did not begin with Jackson , nor did they die with him; as a result, Jackson cannot be held solely responsible for actions taken in
the furthering of this goal. Jackson did much to expand the power of the United States , at home and overseas. He settled disputes with Spain that lead
to the acquisition of what is now Florida . He opened the British
