Jackson is often considered the first "modern" president due to his expansion of presidential power and appeal to the common man. He introduced the spoils system, which rewarded political supporters with government jobs, and increased voter participation. However, his Indian removal policy led to the tragic Trail of Tears and disregard of Supreme Court rulings upholding tribal sovereignty. Jackson remained popular due to his opposition to elites and support for individual liberty and states' rights.
Andrew Jackson was the 7th US President from 1828-1837. As a slave owner and veteran of the War of 1812, he portrayed himself as a champion of the common man but was more akin to a Southern gentleman. He believed in the spoils system of rewarding political supporters with government jobs. During his presidency, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 led to the forced removal of the Cherokee and other Southeastern tribes along the Trail of Tears, resulting in thousands of deaths, despite a Supreme Court ruling protecting tribal lands.
The document summarizes key events during Andrew Jackson's presidency and the rise of Jacksonian democracy. It describes how Jackson appealed to common workers and farmers in his campaigns. His supporters saw him as representing the interests of average citizens over the wealthy elite. As president, Jackson fired many government officials and replaced them with political allies, establishing the spoils system. He also signed the Indian Removal Act, leading to the forced relocation of Native Americans and the tragic Trail of Tears. Sectional divisions between North and South grew over tariffs and states' rights during Jackson's two terms.
During Andrew Jackson's presidency in the 1820s-1830s, there was a growing spirit of democracy in the US. The election of 1824 was contested, and though Andrew Jackson won the popular and electoral votes, it was decided by the House of Representatives, where John Quincy Adams was elected instead. This led Jackson's supporters to cry "corrupt bargain" and helped usher in the two-party system. Jackson went on to win the presidency in 1828 on behalf of the common man. His inauguration marked the rise of Jacksonian democracy and the spoils system of political appointments.

The document discusses the rise of Andrew Jackson and Jacksonian democracy in the early 19th century United States. It outlines how Jackson expanded suffrage, bringing more white men into the political process. His populist message appealed to common workers and farmers. However, Jacksonian democracy was still limited and contradictory, as it only applied to white male voters and did not oppose slavery or the displacement of Native Americans. The era saw a shift from aristocratic politics to greater popular participation but within the constraints of racial inequality.
The document discusses key events during Andrew Jackson's presidency from 1828 to 1836. Some of the major controversies included the national bank, states' rights issues like nullification, and the tariff. Jackson opposed the national bank and vetoed the renewal of its charter.

Andrew Jackson sought to remove Native American tribes from eastern lands to territories west of the Mississippi River. This resulted in the passage of the 1830 Indian Removal Act and the forced relocation of the "Five Civilized Tribes" including the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears. The Supreme Court initially ruled in Worcester v. Georgia that states did not have authority over tribal lands, but President Jackson defied this ruling, allowing the removal to proceed. Over 4,000 Cherokee died during the forced march west.
Andrew Jackson was the first president to come from a log cabin and ride a railroad train. He was also the only president to serve in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

2) "Nativists" in the early 1800s feared the growing number of immigrants who they thought took jobs and overtook neighborhoods. This led to the formation of the anti-immigrant "American Party."
3) Improvements to transportation infrastructure like roads, canals, steamboats, and eventually railroads helped unite the growing nation by facilitating the movement of goods and people across vast distances. This promoted economic growth and nationalism

1) Americans rapidly moved westward despite facing hardships like disease and loneliness on the frontier. Frontier settlers were often individualistic, superstitious, and lacked information.
2) "Nativists" in the early 1800s feared the growing number of immigrants arriving in America, believing they would take jobs and overtake neighborhoods. This led to the formation of the "American Party."
3) Improved transportation like canals, roads, and later railroads helped unite the growing nation by facilitating the movement of goods and people across vast distances. This promoted economic growth and nationalism.
During Andrew Jackson's presidency from 1828 to 1836, several key political, economic, and social changes occurred:
Politically, Jackson and his supporters referred to the 1824 election as the "Stolen Election" and campaigned on a message of representing the people's will. Jackson defeated John Quincy Adams in 1828 and Henry Clay in 1832.
Economically, Jackson advocated for states' rights and opposed federal spending programs and the Bank of the United States. He issued the Maysville Road veto and attacked the Bank as favoring special interests over average citizens.
Socially, Jacksonian democracy expanded suffrage to all white male citizens and strengthened the presidency at Congress's expense.
This document provides background information on Andrew Jackson, including key events in his life and presidency. It discusses Jackson's upbringing, military career defeating the British and Creek Indians, election as president in 1828 ushering in the "Age of the Common Man," and his controversial policies as president. These included implementing the spoils system, disputes over the Second Bank of the United States and Indian removal, most notably resulting in the Trail of Tears. The document also outlines debates over states' rights, the tariff, and expansion of suffrage that occurred during Jackson's two terms as president from 1829 to 1837.
Jacksonian Democracy and 19th c Indian Removaldaltonj
This document summarizes key events and figures related to the history of Native Americans and white settlement in the United States, including Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Trail of Tears, the Homestead Act of 1862, Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce, the Dawes Act of 1887, and allotment of Native American lands. Key topics covered include the signing of treaties, forced relocation of Native Americans, land distribution and subsidies that benefited white settlers, and loss of Native American lands over time.
As more settlers moved West, three key developments transformed the landscape:
1. A mining boom brought growth to western towns, though mining was dangerous work.
2. The cattle industry created a short-lived "Cattle Kingdom" on the Great Plains, driven by demand for beef, before competition and new technologies ended it.
3. The transcontinental railroad connected East and West, spurring further population growth and economic development in the West.
This document provides learning objectives and instructions for a lesson on why the Indians lost control of the Plains. The lesson asks students to identify reasons for the end of the Indians by having them read passages in the textbook about the end of the buffalo and the impact of reservations. It then instructs students to complete two tasks - writing down the main reasons for the end of the buffalo and how reservations controlled the Plains Indians through territorial, political, economic, religious and educational means. Finally, students are asked to discuss in a plenary what they believe was the main reason for the Indians losing control of the Plains.
The document discusses the American West between the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains during the early-to-mid 1800s. It provides information on the geography of the region, including the Great Plains, as well as the native inhabitants and how settlers could travel west, such as along the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails. Students are then assigned a project to create an advertisement encouraging migration to the west by listing at least three reasons marked with asterisks.
The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States and secured the Mississippi River trade route. It provided abundant and cheap land for western expansion of farming, but also raised political concerns. Some Federalists feared increased support for Republicans from the new western states and even proposed secession of New England. This tension was exacerbated by the duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton in 1804, after which Burr fled arrest for killing Hamilton.
The document discusses factors that contributed to westward expansion in the United States between 1820-1890, including Manifest Destiny, the discovery of gold in California, the Homestead Act of 1862, and the building of the transcontinental railroad. It describes how the railroad transformed travel across North America from a months-long, dangerous journey to a week-long trip, enabling more extensive settlement of the western territories and fulfilling Manifest Destiny. Key events discussed include the driving of the Golden Spike in 1869 uniting the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads and establishing the first transcontinental railroad line across North America.
The document provides a review of key people, events, and concepts related to Westward Expansion in the United States between the 1840s-1850s, including:
- Three countries that owned California: Spain, Mexico, and the United States.
- Manifest Destiny, the belief that the US was destined to expand across North America, was used to justify the Mexican War and Indian Removal.
- The Mexican War occurred under President James K. Polk and resulted in the US acquiring California, New Mexico, and Arizona after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
- Westward expansion led to the Oregon Trail, Mormon migration, conflicts with Native Americans, the Texas Revolution, and the
The document discusses the key factors that influenced westward expansion in the United States, including geographic obstacles, technologies, policies, and the social and economic impacts. It addresses how physical features, climate, resources, railroads, and the Homestead Act affected travel and settlement. It also examines conflicts between miners, farmers, ranchers, and various ethnic groups, as well as the effects of expansion on Native Americans, including land disputes, warfare, and changes in federal policy.
This document discusses the concept of Manifest Destiny and provides context through maps and quotes from 1816. It includes a map from 1816 depicting the United States stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, along with a quote from the map's creator saying it was desirable to present the country this way and that it showed the potential for expansion across the continent from east to west.
The document provides information about the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1804 to 1806 and discusses whether Lewis and Clark were respectful to the Native Americans they encountered. It introduces a structured academic controversy technique where students will explore the issue through opposing positions in pairs and teams. They will present each position, restate the other team's perspective, and then work towards building consensus or clarifying differences of opinion. Discussion norms of active listening, challenging ideas respectfully, understanding other perspectives, and equal sharing of time are outlined.
The document summarizes the history of ownership and acquisition of the Louisiana Territory by various nations including Native Americans, French, British, Spanish, and Americans. It describes how France gained control of the territory in 1682 but lost it to Spain in 1763. In 1800, Spain secretly transferred the territory back to France under Napoleon, alarming Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson sent diplomats to purchase New Orleans but Napoleon unexpectedly offered to sell the entire Louisiana Territory for $15 million. In 1803, the United States completed the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the nation's size and opening vast new lands for settlement and exploration like the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
The Japanese writing system consists of hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Hiragana uses symbols to represent syllables and is used for native Japanese words. Katakana also uses symbols for syllables and is used for foreign borrowings. Kanji adopts Chinese characters to represent words or parts of words in a simplified manner. Mastering hiragana is fundamental as it is the first system students learn. Each type of character has unique rules regarding pronunciation and usage.
The document provides information about the Chinese alphabet and writing system. It discusses how the Chinese writing system developed from ancient pictographs into a system with over 50,000 characters. Unlike the English alphabet, Chinese characters represent whole words rather than individual sounds. The document also notes that the Chinese writing system allows people speaking different dialects to communicate through written language. It traces the origins of Chinese writing to around 4500 years ago and describes the discovery of ancient texts on oracle bones from 1500-1000 BC that provided early evidence of Chinese characters.
This document is an ABC book about Japanese culture. It provides short descriptions for each letter of the alphabet that highlight aspects of Japanese culture such as geography (Asia, islands), plants (bamboo, cherry blossoms), traditions (Emperor, Geisha, sumo wrestling), holidays (New Year's, Hanami), art forms (origami, wooden dolls), architecture (pagodas, shrines), and more. Each entry includes one or two sentences and sometimes an image to illustrate the cultural element being described. The book is intended to introduce young readers to foundational aspects of Japanese culture through brief, image-enhanced alphabetical definitions.
The document provides an overview of Chinese writing and language. It discusses oracle bones as an early form of Chinese writing dating back thousands of years. It also summarizes that Chinese uses characters rather than an alphabet, with over 60,000 characters in the writing system. Finally, it notes that simplified Chinese uses simpler versions of traditional characters, as seen on some early oracle bones.
The document discusses different types of writing systems, including pictographs, ideographs, syllabic writing, and alphabetic writing. It notes that no writing systems use only one type, and provides examples. The rest of the document focuses on issues with the English writing system. While English spelling is inconsistent and irregular, the document argues this is by design rather than a flaw, as the system aims to represent morphological and phonemic patterns rather than surface phonetic details through its morphophonemic principle.
The American Revolution was an uneven fight between 1775-1783, with Britain having advantages in military strength and resources over the American colonists. Key turning points included the Continental Army's surprise victory at Trenton and the British surrender at Saratoga, which convinced France to ally with the Americans. With further support from France and other countries, Washington was able to trap Cornwallis' forces at Yorktown in 1781, marking the last major battle. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 officially recognized American independence.
The Federalists supported a strong central government and the ratification of the US Constitution, as expressed through the Federalist Papers authored by Madison, Hamilton, and Jay. The Anti-Federalists opposed increasing federal power and wanted to protect the powers of state governments. They worried the presidency could become a monarchy. The Constitution was ratified after debates between the two sides in states like New York, where Federalist 10 addressed the Anti-Federalists' concerns about factions.
The document discusses the Federalist and Anti-Federalist positions during the ratification of the US Constitution. The Anti-Federalists opposed a strong central government and feared it would ignore individual rights. Notable Anti-Federalists included Patrick Henry and George Mason. The Federalists supported ratifying the Constitution to give the national government more power to function effectively while still protecting state powers. Key Federalists included James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay who authored the Federalist Papers in support of ratification.
Athens in the 5th century BC had a direct democracy where all male citizens could participate directly in the government. The Ekklesia, made up of all citizens, voted on laws and declared war. The Boule, made up of 500 randomly selected citizens, drafted laws and managed politics and the army. Principal characteristics included isonomia where all citizens had equal rights, isogoria allowing all citizens to speak in the assembly, and isocracia giving all citizens equal chances to hold office, though women, foreigners, and slaves were excluded from citizenship. Pericles led Athens' democratic faction for over 30 years, during which time the Parthenon was built.
The document provides information about ancient Greek city-states (poleis) and the differences between Athens and Sparta. It describes that each polis was an independent self-governing city, with politics, religion and social life intertwined. It then contrasts the values and societies of Athens and Sparta, noting that Athens valued art, beauty and freedom while Sparta emphasized strength, duty and discipline. Athens was a democracy while Sparta was an oligarchy.

7. Democrats
• After the War of 1812, the party's chief
rival, the Federalist Party disbanded.
Democratic-Republicans split over
the choice of a successor to
President James Monroe, and the
party faction that supported many
of the old Jeffersonian principles,
led by Andrew Jackson and Martin
Van Buren, became the Democratic
Party
8. Democrats
• Dominated American politics during
the Second Party System, from 1832
to the mid-1850s, with such leaders
as presidents Andrew Jackson,
Martin Van Buren, James K. Polk,
and Senator Stephen Douglas, who
usually bested the opposition Whig
Party by narrow margins, as both
parties worked hard to build grass-
roots organizations and maximize the
turnout of voters.
9. The Donkey
• When Andrew Jackson ran for president in
1828, his opponents tried to label him a
"jackass" for his populist views and his slogan,
"Let the people rule." Jackson, however, picked
up on their name calling and turned it to his
own advantage by using the donkey on his
campaign posters. During his presidency, the
donkey was used to represent Jackson's
stubbornness when he vetoed re-chartering the
National Bank.
• http://www.bearkatdemocrats.com/partyhistory.htm
• Thomas Nast will make it more widely know when he used the
donkey in a political cartoon (although it is doubtful he had
previous knowledge of the use of the donkey as a symbol of
the Democratic Party

Wars, were three conflicts in Florida between the
Seminole — the collective name given to the
amalgamation of various groups of native Americans
and Black people who settled in Florida in the early
18th century — and the United States Army.
• The First Seminole War was from 1814 to 1819
(although sources differ), the Second Seminole War
from 1835 to 1842, and the Third Seminole War
from 1855 to 1858.
• The first conflict arose out of tensions relating to
General Jackson's attack and destruction of Fort
Gadsden (AKA: Negro Fort) in Florida in 1816.
Jackson also attacked the Spanish at Pensacola.
Ultimately, the Spanish Crown ceded the colony to
United States rule

34. Indian Policy
• For many years, Jackson had protested the practice
of treating with Indian tribes as if they were foreign
nations. Jackson did not hate Indians as a race. He
was friendly with many individual Indians and had
taken home an Indian orphan from the Creek
campaign to raise in his household as a companion
to his adopted son. But Jackson did believe
that Indian civilization was lower than
that of whites, and that for their own
survival, tribes who were pressed by
white settlement must assimilate as
individuals or remove to the west out of
harm's way.

53. WHIGSWHIGS
• Considered integral to the Second Party System and
operating from 1833 to the mid-1850s,the party was
formed in opposition to the policies of President
Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party. In
particular, the Whigs supported the supremacy of
Congress over the presidency and favored a program
of modernization and economic protectionism. This
name was chosen to echo the American Whigs of 1776,
who fought for independence and because "Whig" was
then a widely recognized label of choice for people who
identified as opposing tyranny. The Whig Party
counted among its members such national political
luminaries as Daniel Webster, William Henry
Harrison, and their preeminent leader, Henry Clay of
Kentucky. In addition to Harrison, the Whig Party also
nominated war heroes generals Zachary Taylor and
Winfield Scott. Abraham Lincoln was the chief Whig
leader in frontier Illinois.

58. Albany Regency
• Albany Regency, name given, after 1820, to
the leaders of the first political machine,
which was developed in New York state by
Martin Van Buren. The name derived from
the charge that Van Buren's principal
supporters, residing in Albany, managed the
machine for him while he served in the U.S.
Senate. During the Jacksonian period the
Regency controlled the Democratic party in
New York.
• It was one of the first effective political
machines, using the spoils system and
rigid party discipline to maintain its control
