Who Is Andrew Jackson A Good President

Andrew Jackson was a very well-known president. Some know him for the good he's done, some for the bad, and some because he is on the twenty dollar bill. Many of us do not know that Jackson lived a very eventful life. During Jackson's run for president a very personal subject came up about his past that impacted his life immensely.

Before Jackson became president he fell in love with the young lady named Rachel Robarb. Although, Andrew and Rachel love went against social control, (2) during this time. Rachel was married to a man named Louis Robarb. Rachel wanted out of this status (4) of a mentally abused wife; it was rumored that Louis was a very hateful man. Rachel then left Lewis and married Andrew Jackson. She did so while still legally married to Louis. This brought great controversy during Jackson's run for presidency, in later years.
A nonmaterialistic (2) idea that Jackson was a wife stealer and Rachel an adulteress, came to play.
Many opponents used this against Jackson saying he was not fit to be president because of his character and integrity. Jackson try to protect his wife as much as possible during this time, but one day Rachel found a hurtful newspaper pamphlet about her being a bigamist and other hateful things. After finding the pamphlet, she was distraught and was seen running through the town. Despite this incident, Jackson won presidency. Sadly, Rachel Jackson died four days after.

Jackson held true to his values (2) and made it a responsibility to protect his wife's honor from there for on. Jackson also blamed the slander and harassment for Rachel's death, even though it was said that she dies of heart troubles. Jackson later wrote about how sad and broken he was. He used her epitaph to defend her honor. "A being so gentle, and yet so virtuous, slander might wound but could not dishonor." Jackson and his wife are now traditionally (5) laid side-by-side and are honored together for
eternity.

I used nonmaterialistic because society created an idea that Andrew and Rachel Jackson were bad people because of their, so called, past (2). Rachel held a status (4) of being Louis Robarb’s unhappy wife before she married Andrew. Social control (2) is when a society tries to control how everyone acts and what they do, but the Jackson’s didn’t follow this flow and did something that wasn’t accepted in their time. Andrew Jackson’s values (2) were to defend his wife’s honor; it was what he deemed to be right. It is common tradition (5), that is passed on, that a couple lay to rest together during death, the Jackson’s followed this idea.
