History 1301

The shoes of Jackson

As you get older or maybe even as a kid you think about old presidents and how they

were during their presidency or when how their life was. Was Andrew Jackson a successful

president or was he an unsuccessful one? That is a great question people may ask themselves. In

Jackson’s early life, his father died when he was just a baby he was just a regular child going to

school he was born in poverty to then become the wealthiest lawyer in Tennessee. The revolution

war wiped out his family. In 1795 Jackson was the first Tennessee member of Congress, after he

was a senator he then was part of a couple of wars and he ended becoming a hero which led to

him being a president in 1829.

The Nullification Controversy started in the year 1832 and 1833. Jackson was president

at the time his presidency lasted about two terms which is eight years. The Tariff of Abomination

was passed by congress of the United States in order to protect the north industries. In the late

1820’s north was becoming industrialized and the south was staying agriculture. South Carolina

did not like the idea because it was not helping them. SC “declared that the federal Tariffs of

1828 and 1832 were unconstitutional and therefore null and void within the sovereign boundaries

of the state.” Which is why they wanted this bill gone they had no benefits from it. It makes

sense why SC disagrees with this Tariff which is why they got bothered with the Federal

Government and wanted this Tariff gone. Of course, if you see someone you do not like doing

get you will get a little bothered, but when you see them do even better is boils your blood.

Jacksons administration failed to help SC with the issue to they just weren’t go by with what

they needed to do.

The National Bank was created by George Washington and Alexander Hamilton in 1791

the reason they created this bank was, so it can serve as a central repository to federal fund. In

1816 the second bank was founded. Jackson has always hated the bank after he lost a good

amount of money, I do not blame him if someone took your money I as well would be pretty

mad about it. Since Jackson did not like the bank once he became president he definitely look

more into the bank. In 1833 he announced that the government will no longer be available thanks

to his power he got rid of all federal funds.
