Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Well he was known as the commen mans president. He threw a lot of parties. He wasn't exactly a bad president but he got most of his support from the south/west, he was known for *mud slinging* which was miss use of money and he was known for duels. And jackson was known for using the spoils system which is rewarding your friend with giving them public office which led to poor government officials and corruption. He is known for the tariff of abomination which the northa facored for industry but the south didn't because they were farmers. This act led to the nullification of S.C. Which also leads to them trying to succeed but jackson uses military force to keep them in. He is also known for the trail of tears which is the indian removal. He also gets rid of the national bank which leads to wild cat banks and an unstable dollar.

    - hope that's enough.
