Question

YOUR OPINION!!! Was Andrew Jackson a good president or a bed president??? Explain!!!

Answer 1

Andrew Jackson is considered a good president because he forever changed the way presidential campaigns are held. Instead running on a party platform Andrew Jackson appealed to the people. He held huge rallies and made several appearances. By doing this Andrew Jackson got the people more involved with the presidential elections and won their votes with all of his public exposure. To this day presidential campaigns are held much like Andrew Jackson’s campaigns making him the first modern president.

Andrew Jackson can also be considered a terrible president. One thing Andrew Jackson did that most people today disagree with is the Indian Removal Act. In 1830 Andrew Jackson instated the Indian Removal Act. This act evicted thousands of Native American families, specifically Cherokees, from their homes in the Carolinas and Georgia so that white families could move into their homes, because the population was expanding and there was not enough room for everyone. The Native American people were forced to walk from their homes to an area designated for them called Oklahoma. The Native Americans made this journey during the fall and winter of 1830 with nothing but the clothes on their backs. This journey which became known as “the trail of tears” was a brutal journey to Oklahoma, diseases spread quickly and many people died of illness, exhaustion, and starvation. Nearly 2000 Native Americans died because of the Indian Removal Act which is the main reason why people would consider Jackson to be a horrible president.
