Was Andrew Jackson A Good President Or Evil Tyrant?
Andrew Jackson our Seventh President of the United States of America, served from March 4, 1829 to March 4, 1837. From nicknames to legendary stories the list can go on about this man. Many argue with each other about if he was a good president or an evil tyrant. There are many reasons to go for either side, the debate about him is a very contemporary one, but I chose to say that he was a good President. Reasons are for the great things he accomplished during his presidency.
During his time many people believed he was the greatest leader since the founding fathers, because of how he ran the country. One thing was he believed in limited government.

He saw that manufacturing was more important than slavery, which caused trouble from South, but he saw were the money was at the time. Many of his opponents called him a jackass but instead of taking it as a negative as many others would, he used it as a positive, and set it as his symbol which is now the symbol of the Democratic Party today. Not many things bothered the man or maybe it was the fact that he didn’t care at all of what others thought of him as long as they respected him. I find that amusing, and humorous. The thing for me that makes me think that Andrew Jackson was the greatest President was that he was the first and only President in American history to pay off entire national debt. No other president has been able to do that to this day.
In my conclusion the reason I believe that Andrew Jackson was not only a good president, but one the greatest President America has had. Is that he was a man of leadership, and willingness to fight for what he believed in. He enlarged democracy, influenced many politicians
