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. This led to a battle over states' rights when South Carolina declared tariffs "null and void" leading to the Nullification Crisis. Jackson believed in separating church and state and refused requests to issue religious proclamations as President.
