William Nester, The age of Jackson and the Art Power 1815-1848. Dulles Virginia: Potomac Books, 1956. The age of Jackson although I felt as if it was a hard book to spot the main argument it was an overall good read and interesting. This book really dives into the life of Jackson and tells him from birth to death. I feel as if Nesters argument was just showing the way at which Jackson personified the era and, as he stated on page 2, was the titan if the thirty-three years from 1815 to 1845 and…

During the 1800’s, after the War of 1812, other issues developed in America. These issues were not near as astounding as the War of 1812, but they did however lead to other wars. During this time period, specifically the 1830s, Indians were a major part of the problems that America faced. However, this serves us as no surprise being that at the end of the War of 1812, Indians were the only settlers with no compromise. The primary purpose of this essay is to discuss some major events that…

Nullification Crisis- 1832-1833 The Nullification Crisis began when Congress passed the ‘Tariff of Abominations’ in 1828. The Tariff angered the South, as they felt that the Tariff only benefitted the North and slowed their economy. John C. Calhoun led the nullification movement, taking ideas from the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions as well as the Tenth Amendment. His theory of nullification stated that the federal government only existed at the will of the states, and therefore if a state…

The changing nation reflected a growing sense of national pride and identity. After the War of 1812, nationalism was growing throughout the United States. This excitement came from the victory of the war. The Era of Good Feelings was caused by the United States being established as a world power and a new unity among the people. The government became stronger and the United States takes on a bigger role in the world. The Age of Jackson was about power to the people. Jackson gave the people…

unconstitutional. South Carolina published a pamphlet entitled: “the South Carolina Exposition” which persuaded many people into nullifying the tariff of 1828. This pamphlet was written by John C. Calhoun, the Vice President of the United States and it was a direct threat to the United States Government. John C. Calhoun and President Andrew Jackson did not agree on nullification, which, obviously, was a big problem because they are President and Vice President. Soon, this caused Calhoun to…

“Those who are not for us are against us,” was a mantra often used by Andrew Jackson. As a general and a president, Andrew Jackson frequently engaged in violent interactions. Jackson indulged in stepping over boundaries when he did not have the authority to do so. Before Jackson became president, he showed his competence in New Orleans. General Jackson enforced martial law, and ruled out writ of habeas corpus. These two illegal actions completely defied the Constitutional Rights of the…

Before the events of the Nullification Crisis took place, Andrew Jackson appointed John Eaton as his Secretary of War. John Eaton had married a tavern maid woman by the name of Margaret Peggy. Consequently, when he married Peggy, it caused John Eaton to become plagued with scandal because of high-status women in Jackson’s political party began to slander and gossip about Peggy marrying out of her social class. Floride…

Believe it or not, state 's rights was just as big an issue as slavery was. Many Compromises were made that directly influenced slavery in the early United States, however, these documents also had a basis for determining the rights of the states. I believe that these rights had more of an impact on the development of the Unites States up to the 1850s. Even before the Revolution, America 's original thirteen colonies were used to making their own decisions. Often, we 'll see examples of them…
