Andrew Jackson Tyrant

I do not believe that President Jackson should be on the twenty dollar bill. He was not a man of good; all he cared about was pleasing himself and making other people believe he was doing good; manipulating them. Andrew Jackson was only concerned with keeping the union together. If he could get people to see that he could keep the states one nation then he would gain fame. I find

During his rule, President Andrew Jackson acted like a king during his presidency. Events in history explain that he had acted like a king more than the common man. The firsts on is the Spoils System. Second, the Trail of Tears. Lastly, Jackson enforced what he wanted to.

When Jackson was elected president he introduced the spoils system, which took away the jobs of highly trained federal men. These men were the most educated to hold office, but with the new system they were replaced with political supporters as a payment for supporting Jackson. He had a belief that if the same people stayed in the position, they would have more power. Removing the people from their position was not the best option, and showed that Jackson simply wanted to make the people happy, but was not doing what was best for the country. The majority of the men were uneducated common people. In the political cartoon, Office Hunters For The Year 1834, it shows that Jackson had complete control of the members of the kitchen,since they were his friends and would often obey him. Having all the control in the White House and control over the members of

Andrew Jackson has gone down as one of the best presidents in United States history and that’s because he did many great things to improve the United States. Throughout his presidency he constantly abused his power as the president and did many things that expanded the powers of the president. One of the biggest things that President Jackson did while in office was pass the Indian Removal Act. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was when Jackson forced all the Indians to move to the land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase, while the Supreme Court declared this unconstitutional. Many of the Indians went peacefully, but many of the Indians also decided to protest and take it to the Supreme Court (Darrenkamp). While the court did side with the Indians Jackson and Congress forced the Indians to give up their land. The federal troops were called in to escort the Indians to their new land. Fifteen thousand Indians were forced to move and while on their way about a third of the Indians died, and this event became to be known as the Trail of Tears (Darrenkamp). Jackson had

I think Andrew Jackson should stay on the the twenty dollar bill because he was good leader and if he was on the twenty dollar bill to begin with he should stay on it.

Why should the United States honor a president who caused immense pain to many innocent people and led our country into a financial panic and depression by putting him on the $20 bill? Andrew Jackson was not the great man that many people learned about. Jackson did many things during his presidency that should are dishonorable, such as supporting the Indian Removals, or kicking qualified people out of his office to make room for his friends in the government. Even though many people believe he was the people’s president and stood for democracy, we should not be applauding a president that supported discrimination and slavery during his time in office. Andrew Jackson was against the national bank, too, and even went as far as to begin a campaign to close down the bank. Additionally, Jackson committed various dishonorable actions during his presidency that lost him the trust of some of his voters and gave his opponents valid reasons to oppose him. Andrew Jackson does not deserve to be on the $20 bill.

Andrew Jackson’s presidency made him one of the most controversial presidents that has ever existed in the history of the United States of America. Andrew Jackson for many was a cruel tyrant who reinstated the tax on British goods with Tariff of 1828 and rejected the renewal of the charter for the Second National Bank of the United States. Also, Andrew Jackson created the Indian Removal Act of 1830 which end result would be the Trail of Tears during the presidency of Martin Van Buren. Those who oppose Andrew Jackson being the champion of the common man cite that Andrew Jackson abused his executive power of enforcing the law and the presidential veto. Andrew Jackson was misguided with some of the actions he made during his presidency, but he committed those actions because he thought they would help the common U.S. citizen. President Andrew Jackson used his executive power to be a champion of the common man during his presidency from 1828 to

In the history of America, the people have always had a mixed opinions or views with certain presidents on certain bills. Some presidents brought change, while others didn't which shows why not all presidents have a bill with their face on it. But the people have never felt more mixed about a president on a bill until Andrew Jackson took the 20. While Andrew Jackson has made a lot of positive gains in America there is still a lot of negative things and I think he shouldn't be on the bill at all. He has done way more harm than good such as he was still a murderer and a traitor symbol on America because of events he took in such as him making South Carolina stay in the union and pay taxes, him vetoing the pet banks, and he signed for the Trail of Tears.

Why Andrew Jackson Should Not Be on the $20 Bill America’s history has often been called problematic. Today, people are looking back into America's past and realizing they don't agree with the choices made by people in power. An example of an infamous past figure is Andrew Jackson. On the $20 bill, Jackson is a well known former president. Jackson owned slaves and initiated the genocide of thousands of Native Americans, showing absolutely no regard for human life.

“You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing,” said Andrew Jackson. This quote reflects on the values and the type of man Andrew Jackson is. Never fearing consequences, Andrew Jackson hopped on every opportunity to develop the United States and made it clear that he was going to run the nation his way. Present Day, controversy has risen to whether this president was a national hero or someone to look down upon. Should the 7th President of the United States be represented on the US twenty dollar bill? Andrew Jackson served as the 7th president of the United States for 2 terms, 1829 to 1837. Jackson redeveloped the traditions of the presidency and made many controversial acts, such as the Trail of Tears and the destruction of the National Bank. Jackson was well-known serving as the general in the Battle of New Orleans, a battle won by the Americans in the War of 1812. Creating the new Democratic Party, Jackson ran for presidency and focused on votes from farmers. In his 2 terms, Jackson ended lifetime official terms, created a

Awarded the prestigious honor to remain forever engraved on the twenty dollar bill, Andrew Jackson became a figure in American history never forgotten. Future generations of younger students will not need to know Andrew for them to assume he was a great man. Unfortunately, the ignorance of idolizing Jackson because he appears on American currency serves to blanket the realities of his administration. Jackson should be removed from the twenty dollar bill.

“No one needs to think that the world can be ruled without blood. The civil sword shall and must be red and bloody.”(A. Jackson Quotes,). Andrew Jackson should not be placed in the Presidents Hall of Fame for reasons such as spoil system, the indian removal act, and the second bank. He was the seventh president and had other names such as Old Hickory or King Andrew. He saw himself as the common man’s president, the public saw him as an indian killer.

Andrew Jackson had a plethora of innumerable downs and ups throughout his life and presidency like saving a Native American child and also the cause of an assassination of a tribe of Native Americans. I do believe that the actions throughout his life have lead me to come to the conclusion that he is a villian. However, many do believe that all the goods actions Jackson did overweigh the villainous deeds.

Harriet Tubman should replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Some people might think Jackson should stay, but I think that Harriet Tubman is the better candidate to be on the $20 bill. Harriet Tubman has done more good than Andrew Jackson throughout their lives. There also haven’t been any females on any form of currency.

One of the biggest reasons that Andrew Jackson does not deserve this recognition is that he slaughtered countless people during his Indian Removal Act in 1830. During this act, he forced all Native Americans to move into “indian territory”. While some would say that they had earned the right to control them through war, this act was entirely unconstitutional, because of treaties that were signed in the 1790’s, in which, “the federal government had recognized the Cherokee people in the state of Georgia as a separate
