Andrew Jackson Argumentative Essay
So, the Natives weren't needed anymore in the Americas because the Americans were the
"rulers". Since the Natives were no longer needed, they ordered a removal of them thinking they weren't human. Jefferson had a plan to change the way that the Natives were, to make them more American. Jackson was obsessed with taking land from the Natives and hating them. Jackson led to the Natives to the their land, promising the Cherokees friendship, deceiving them. Americans have been hiding the true Jackson from the textbooks, making him look like a hero, when he was nothing but a scumbag. Jackson was someone who, once he had a little, he wanted more. Jackson wasn't the only asshole like this, Lewis Cass was another one like him, he viewed the Natives as if they weren't even a part of the human race.

To get the Natives to move, Jackson promised them a false hope, and he made himself seem friendly to the
Natives. The lies fed to the Natives wound up breaking them up and allowing for the expansion of the Americans westward. The start to the hardships of the Natives was industrialization, the need for the rich to get richer. So much was this influence of industrialization that the Cherokee adopted it and took it for themselves. The Cherokee went from natives to whites quickly and Jackson didn't like it, so he ordered for them to be kicked out, he must've gotten scared because they were forming a government of their own. The natives didn't want to relocate again, so they chose to stay until the government bribed them to leave, pigs. The natives moved to Mississippi, but on their way there, most died because of disease and epidemic. One would think the government would help them out like a human being, but they wound up stopping all their activities to not let them grow, so in response, the
Cherokee nation exposed the U.S and made them see that without them, they would be nothing but peasants in Britain. Regardless of what the Natives did, the Americans didn't

    Jackson states when he takes the regalia back, “Do you know how many good men live in this world? Too many to count!” This is significant because Jackson himself is a good man. He is an unlikely hero, when he was accumulating money to buy back his grandmother’s regalia, he was helping others that crossed his path, the Aleut Indians, Mary from the Korean grocery store, and his Indian cousins in the bar. Additionally, nearly every person he encountered returned the kindness to him.…

    He was a great military leader no doubt, but at times he was stubborn and reluctant to listen to orders. I did not know Jackson’s story very well before reading this book. I’ve always assumed that he was a great leader that everyone looked up to. This is true to an extent, but he was also a controversial character who at times was even called a tyrant. He was only protecting the citizens of New Orleans and they feared he would take over the city like Napoleon.…

    Jackson, I feel, seemed to handle things in an extreme manner. One example of an extreme manner is the forced relocation of Native American tribes living east of the Mississippi in 1838; known as the Trail of Tears. This was the route where bad weather, neglect, and limited supplies of food killed a lot of the walking Native Americans. From his previous job as an Army general, Jackson had already experienced giving the Indian nations acres of…

    Jackson was so likable amongst the American people that he was nicknamed, “the people’s president”. Jackson had multiple nicknames as president. Names such as Old Hickory, King Andrew, and the “people's president”. He was named the people's president for things that he did that people liked him for. One of the most significant things he's done was to create the spoils system as referenced from the website Duksters.com. (http://www.ducksters.com/biography/uspresidents/andrewjackson.php)Jackson was liked as a President, respected as a war hero and seemed to rise above his upbringing. He definitely was well liked for good reasons.Jackson has so many good qualities that I believe he should remain on the…
