Indian Removal Act of 1830

You probably know that Jackson created the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and saw that it was carried out. He did this out of pure love for his, our, country. He provided space for us to expand, and prosper in. He gave us rich farmland, and another place to call our own. Do not listen to anyone who tells you different.

Nullification

For all those who don't know-
Nullification is a state's right to null and void a law passed by the Federal Government. Andrew Jackson, is quite against nullification. He has clearly spoken, "Our Federal Union must be preserved!". He is quite right you know. States can be states, but we are the united states, and we must stay together as a country and respect one another.

The 2nd Bank

As you probably know, Andrew Jackson was, and is, very much against the 2nd National Bank. He even said, "The bank is trying to kill me, but I will kill it!" But what you do not know is, that, unlike previous presidents, Jackson uses his power to veto to assume command!

Jackson's Early Life


Andrew Jackson was born in a log cabin on the border of North and South Carolina. While trying to help the war at the age of 13, he was captured by the British. Later he was rescued by his mother. Though he was an orphan by 14, he was a very strong young man. He survived smallpox when he was very young, and then severe gunshot wounds as an adult. He then became an extraordinary lawyer in Tennessee. As well as a landowner, and a judge. Plus he married to Rachel Donelson Jackson, and even said, "Heaven will be no heaven to me if I do not meet my wife there." Clearly, this is the kind of backround our next president needs?
