President Andrew Jackson made many mistakes. The Indian removal act and also the war against the Bank. First, the Indian Removal act was a very brave decision that had to be done. They way he approached it was very wrong. Instead of throwing more west he should have built them some kind of area where they could live and not have to build shelter and start all over again.…
On May 20, 1998, Kipland Kinkel went on a shooting rampage at Thurstone High School. After the shooting spree Kipland was arrested and convicted of four counts of murder and twenty-six attempted counts of murder, with a total sentence time of 111 years and eight months. Four years into the 111-year sentence, the attorneys of Kipland Kinkel appealed the initial sentencing. In the “State of Oregon v. Kipland Philip Kinkel,” Judge Haselton offers information on the original trial, the grounds of the appeal and the state’s decision to uphold the sentence. Judge Haselton utilizes the rhetorical tools of ethos, pathos and logos to support the court’s decision to deny the appeal.…
This is El Paso del Norte bridge and it is only one of the views that the community of the Chihuahuita has in front of them. If you live in my community you can see the bridge and you can see how much time people are taking to cross from Ciudad Juarez.

Michigan in the Civil War- The Civil War started when the confederate army attacked Fort Sumter in April 1861 causing the fort to surrender to the confederates. Michigan began to rally the troops a week after the fall of fort Sumter, one meeting spot was Ann Arbor. The first Michigan was created and it generated more excitement than any other regiment. The regiment was trained in Fort Wayne and they went to war on May 11, 1861.…
Before 1860 the American government had always settled its disagreements with compromise. The Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas Nebraska act are all instances where there were disagreements settled with compromise. This worked until the tension over slavery started to result in violence. By the year 1860 it seemed that nobody was willing to compromise. This was because there was no more room for compromise with slavery, the growing hatred of it in the North meant it had to be dealt with, each side had compromised as much as they were willing to.…
One major controversy of the 1850s was the Kansas-Nebraska Act which was around 1854, A man by the name of Stephan Douglas made a proposal that Kansas and Nebraska be divided into two sections while the Missouri compromise be repealed, settlers had to decipher on whether or not to they wanted slavery in their territories which was popular sovereignty. In relation to the expansion of slavery, this contributed to the divide of America on the how the Union looked at slavery and the Confederacy. Many states had their own stances on slavery as they were either pro-slavery or anti-slavery. Kansas with slavery would violate the Missouri compromise, which for the most part kept the Union intact over the last few decades. As a result of this Kansas-Nebraska…
Some may regard Indian Removal Policy as a moral and benevolent action. However, it was not benevolent. The U.S. dishonored treaties and they just hated the Indians by showing serious authority to do whatever they wanted to Indians. As I say one more time, Andrew Jackson’s Indian Removal Policy was not benevolent at all, I think. It was reasonable and understandable that this policy was a period of expansion to the westward, but he overlooked a supreme court and took responsibility by relocating a lot of Native Americans are not justifiable.…
Andrew Jackson’s policy of Indian Removal was not justified because Georgia made the Cherokees follow unfair laws and the soldiers disrespected all the Cherokees. One example from the text is, “White men in uniforms ride up to our home… My mother tells me to gather my things but the men don't allow us to get anything. They enter our home beginning to knock down pottery and looking into everything.” (Samuel Cloud Memory)…
As Andrew Jackson once stated in his Inaugural speech: “It will be my sincere and constant desire to observe toward the Indian tribes within our limits a just and liberal policy, and give that human and considerate attention to the rights and their wants which is consistent with the habits of our government and the feelings of our people”. While Andrew Jackson served as the 7th president of United States, from March 4, 1829 to March 4, 1837. Many considered him the founder of the Democratic Party, so much so that his presidency has been referred to as the “Jacksonian democracy” or the “Era of the common man”. However, he used his political power solely to improve the lives and suffrage rights of white males.…
One of the most well-known acts of Jackson’s doing was the forced relocation of Native American tribes from the Southeast by way of the Indian Removal act. The Trail of Tears is a reminder of the cruelty he indorsed towards those not Caucasian. He did not see them as deserving the full rights he and other white Americans were afforded, regardless of the fact that America was occupied by them centuries prior to Europe’s arrival. I highly disagree with the resettlement he forced upon the Native Americans. It was their land, yet he forced hundreds of innocent Native women, men, and children to trek upon miles of unknown land with no protections from the harsh elements at all.…
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.…
The Controversy of the Confederate Flag Does it represent slavery and oppression, or is it simply just a symbol of some people’s heritage? This is a wide controversy many people are talking about even today about the Confederate Flag. Society is trying to decide if it is disrespectful or not. Many people say it is disrespectful because the flag was used in times of slavery, whereas the other side believes the flag is just a part of their heritage. The Confederate Flag should not be removed from history and should be able to be flown without fear of people feeling that you are racist for flying it.…
After the War of 1812, British forces, particularly navy forces, stopped interfering with Americans and their shipping. The United States was now able to grow as a new, independent, country. “After the War of 1812 revealed itself in continuing efforts to expand the nation’s boundaries” (Thompson, Week 9). “Andrew Jackson was the first president from a western state” (Shi & Tindall, 319).…
The argument that the use of the Mason River for water sports, such as swimming, boating and fishing, will surely increase after the clean up the city park department will perform and, therefore, that more money should be invested in riverside facilities to support these recreational activities is not entirely logically convincing, since it ignores certain crucial assumptions. First, the argument assumes that all the people that expressed their preference for water sports in the cited survey, do in fact like to practice them. By saying that this is their favorite type of recreational activities, people might only mean they enjoy watching them either live or on TV and, consequently, they will not practice them even if better conditions are offered…
Andrew Jackson was a war hero before, he became the 7th president. Jackson was called “Old hickory” because he was related to the “common men”. He was a fighter, he never gave up but,he is stubborn. As his presidency went along, He became overpowering.…
