John Adams Vs Jackson's Rights

Decent Essays
I Support John Adams because I believe more in what Adams has to say then Jackson. John Adams was a nice, respectful, and trustworthy man. Adams was a smart thinker and also wanted to make peace as much as he can. Personally, as a black female I agree more with Adams views and beliefs. Jackson was a ruthless man who didn't care about anyone outside of the U.S. He murdered countless amount of people, and was proved that he lied on several different occasions. And with my beliefs being completely different, I think Jackson would be the worse choice. John Adams I think was connected more to the people than anyone else. He seems to be watching out over everyone and does what he needs to do to protect us. He also is not afraid of asking for peace

    During the 1820s and 1830s, Jacksonian Democrats claimed to be the defenders of the Constitution and the common people, the upholders of political democracy, individual liberty, and economic equal opportunity. These claims are not truthful, as evidenced by the mishandling of Native American removal, President Jackson’s combativeness with Congress, ignorance of the Constitution, and his neglect of the liberties of women and African Americans. These decisions of Jacksonian Democrats, throughout the 1820s and 1830s, do not reflect any of the claimed. Jacksonian Democrats were supporters of Andrew Jackson’s political views. The party placed an emphasis on obtaining greater political representation and advantage for what was expressed as the common man.…

    During the 1820’s and 1830’s, American political views were quite polarized. Arguing over who best represented the people and practiced democracy, the Jacksonian Democrats and Whigs were two of the most prominent political parties at the time. Jacksonian Democrats viewed themselves as the guardians of the United States Constitution, political democracy, individual liberty, and equality of economic opportunity. However, their history was mixed as each of these principles could be proved true for the most part with fragments of contradiction. Andrew Jackson believed that he was the guardian of the US Constitution and that he was correcting inadequate interpretations of the documents presented by his opponents.…

    Andrew Jackson was the 7th president of the United States, but is mostly known for being the general that won against the British in the Battle of New Orleans in a war that was already over.

    Andrew Jackson has expressed many of his concerns relating to the removal of the “Indians” and it has caught my attention. What made my brain whirl with confusion was when Jackson stated “And is it supposed that the wandering savage has a stronger attachment to his home than the settled, civilized Christian?” This quote could possibly be the number question that states the mindset of many Native Americans because in order for the present American came to be, land must be stripped, lives must be lost, treasured must be stolen. The way people’s mind work is different and this can be due to greed for gold or power. When the Native American’s home was taken away, they cannot feel happy to have their peace disturbed and have their loved ones murdered.…
