Andrew Jackson’s impact on America had both negative impacts and positive impacts. For negative impacts, he was a man slaughterer of native Indian tribes and treated them unfairly.

When Andrew Jackson was in presidency, he attempted to take action against the native Indian tribes that inhabited the land that he wanted for his own settlers to claim. For settlers on the land, who were mostly Christian, brought up the concept of Manifest Destiny, in which they believed that it was God’s will to inhabit all of america in westward expansion, and to kill if they needed to in order to get their land. With that started, Jackson created the Indian Removal Act, in which allowed Jackson to offer the native Indian tribes land west of the Mississippi River, which wasn't good land, in return for their own land. Most tribes refused this offer. However, after a while, they were forced out of their homes violently with no time to pack their things by the army, who even they thought it was too violent of a thing to do. They were sent out on the Trail of Tears, the trip to the “promised land”, in which caused thousands of Indians to die because of the cold and inadequate sleeping conditions.

This contradicts to his idea of democracy where all power are to all people. The all people excludes Native Americans which is very undemocratic. He was clueless on the suffering of the Native Americans and completely ignored their well being. Lastly, Andrew vetoed the national bank as he believed it to be “too rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes” which had a negative impact on the nation as this fulfilled the country’s financial needs [Document 4]. Jackson seemed to be biased against the elites such as wealthy landowners as he had no trust on what the country deemed to be important for the country’s best interest.

As the Market Revolution ideas of commerce and expansion took hold in the minds of the people, these white citizens shared the view that Native Americans were hindering the goal of expansion. It was the United State’s God-ordained right to occupy and settle the land westward (Manifest Destiny), and the Native Americans were in the way. The conflicts with Native Americans has existed in America since the first settlers, but with the increased emphasis on commerce and development brought by the Market Revolution, the relations worsened. In 1823, during the case of Johnson v M’Intosh, the Supreme Court claimed that Native Americans only had the “right of occupancy” on their land, and that they did not own it. In 1830, under Jackson’s administration, the Indian Removal Act was created which tried to move the 5 Civilized Tribes out of their lands. Finally, in the Trail of Tears during 1838-1839, 18,000 Cherokee men, women, and children were forcibly removed from their lands and relocated to Oklahoma by federal soldiers. Soon
Throughout Andrew Jackson’s presidency, he sought to represent the common man, but in doing so has negatively affected the American people.
