    If I was Andrew Jackson during that time I would have a big decision to make. Considering the war of 1812 would have ended around 20 years earlier, another costly war wouldn't be good for the economy or the people. The country had to borrow money for the war of 1812 so getting the money back from the French from the Napoleonic Wars would help the economy a great deal. Sometimes in life from what I have learned it is better to give up the small battles in order to win the war. That is just the situation Andrew Jackson was faced with. He could give an explanation and get his money back or not apologize and incur more debt without getting that payment from France. Also being an important trade partner, keeping good relations with France would…

    In 1817 General Andrew Jackson met with the President of the United States James Monroe to discuss preventing attacks on settlers along the Florida-Georgia border. According to President Monroe General Jackson was not given the order to invade, but could chase the Seminoles back into Florida if necessary. General Jackson’s response to President Monroe was, “Sixty days would be all that was needed to rid the Seminole threat.”. General Jackson was selected for this because of his victory in the Battle of 1814 and due largely to the fact that he was a very competent and driven General. Immediately following the Scott Massacre, General Calhoun had ordered General Andrew Jackson to move, him and his troops, to Fort Scott to prepare for war against…

    After reading your post of Andrew Jackson, I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about his life. So after reading American Stories and other online sources, I learned some additional facts about his life, including the fact that at age 13, Jackson was captured and sent to prison. Both Andrew Jackson and his older brother Robert were imprisoned together. While in captivity, a British Officer slashed his head for refusing to shine his boots. As well as, both brothers contracted small pox before their mother Elizabeth arranged for their release in a prisoner exchange. Sadly, Robert died on the journey home. To make matters worse for Jackson, Elizabeth later died from cholera while attending to sick American Prisoners.…

    Andrew Jackson was a man of deep moral principles and unfailing loyalty to his friends. When his wife Rachel, who had been much maligned during her marriage to Jackson, died before his inauguration, Jackson transferred his emotional support to his friend John Eaton and his wife Margaret Timberlake Eaton when her reputation was manipulated by the scandal of her marriage to Eaton before the required mourning period for her first husband had ended. The rules of mourning at that time required the widow to wear black for at least 2 years, not leave the house except for church, attend no social events. The widow wasn't even supposed to do any sewing because if she did she was not showing the proper amount of regard at loosing her spouse.…

    This video actually made me sad. I think it's unhuman to have made anyone uproot thier lives and be forced to walk 1000 of miles because of a signed piece of paper. The Trials of tears came to be because President Andrew Jackson signed the Removal Act. The Act stated that "no state could achieve proper culture, civilization, and progress, as long as Indians remained within its boundaries. The Indians have lived there and it was there home.…

    Andrew Jackson, in my opinion, was a bad president for the United States.The worst thing he did was the Indian removal act which basically made thousands of innocent people leave their homes. Think about it if tomorrow Donald Trump's army is at your door making you leave your home! Later a group of Indians went back to Illinois, then the state militia gathered four thousand five hundred soldiers and slaughtered most of them at the Mississippi river after being chased there. He also promised equal protection and equal benefits. This was only for the whites what about all of the African Americans what are they suppose to do?…

    When weighing the arguments for and against the impeachment of Andrew Jackson it is of the utmost importance to keep in mind the legal grounds for impeachment. The constitution states in Article 2, Section 4 that the president may be removed for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” Impeaching a president is a serious decision and it is important to separate the morality or merits of an action taken by a president from its legality.…
