    The presidents have always played a crucial role in American politics and are known for their roles in unifying the nation. They are glorified for their charisma and ability to lead, but even these brilliant men make economic, political, and social blunders. Andrew Jackson, who was in office from 1829-1837, was a president of many firsts as he was the first frontier president, first to have a “kitchen cabinet”, and first to use a pocket veto. Jackson was later succeeded by his vice president, Martin Van Buren. Van Buren, who was in office from 1837-1841, was known for his shrewd political skills.

    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…

The formation happened faster in “neutral” states where neither Jackson nor Adams had a lot of supporters as. (this connects with #5)…

    The president of the United States, one of the leading figures in the country, one who can make decisions and laws, some of which will determine the future of America for years to come, and one of their jobs is to help manage the country, especially in times of crisis. During the nineteenth and twentieth-centuries, many crises arose following the foundation of America, such as how Jackson managed the nullification crisis and preserved the Union, Abraham Lincoln’s approach to slavery issues with the Emancipation Proclamation, and the preservation of the Union once again during the Civil War, as well as Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal during the Great Depression that brought America into a national recovery. These three significant leaders, Jackson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt, effectively managed the issues they were presented throughout their individual presidencies, and made decisions that positively affected the future of America and its welfare.…

    Andrew Jackson ‘s political style and interest in popular concerns constituted a challenge for those on the opposite side of the political spectrum in his time. Indeed, their reaction to his movement was to attack it, both rhetorically and through the formation of an entirely new political party: the Whig Party. For example, critiquing the rhetorical style of the Jacksonians, Adams wrote in his diary that they were “skunks of party slander.” Generally speaking, he viewed Jacksonian politics as less than palatable. After all, his disdain for Jackson was clearly evident in his decision to boycott Jackson’s accepting of an honorary degree from Harvard University in 1833.…
