I believe he was a great president and was extremely influential from all the stuff he did in his two terms.

Answer 2

There are a few reasons to believe that Andrew Jackson was both a good and a bad president.
You could believe that Jackson was a good president because as pretty much every president he tried his hardest to help his people. Jackson was originally a politician and an army general.

Jackson was a bad president because he did a few things that can be questioned by people. His parents swore at his own funeral he supported slavery and the Indian removal.

omg Thanks!!

Answer 4

Indian nations had been largely erased or removed from the northeastern United States by the time Jackson became president. But in the southwest, the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, and Creeks still occupied parts of their homelands, now considered by Americans as parts of the states of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. 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 inferior to whites', and that for their own survival tribes who were pressed by white settlement must abandon tribal membership and assimilate as individuals or remove to the west out of harm's way. Confident that he could judge the Indians' true welfare better than they, Jackson when employed as an Indian negotiator in his army years had often used threats and bribery to procure cessions of land. Formalities notwithstanding, he regarded tribes resident within the states not as independent sovereign entitites but as wards of the government and tenants-at-will.
