Michael Jackson

replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. And, while Jackson will still reportedly remain on the reverse side of the bill, the move is nonetheless a momentous one. Naturally there are many people who will complain about this decision, but since Tubman’s legacy leading slaves to freedom through the Underground Railroad is beyond reproach, these critics will most likely turn to defending Jackson. As a preemptive rebuttal to such arguments, here are the four reasons why Jackson needs to…

In the 1820s and 1830s, the Cherokees had to figure out whether they would stay or leave from their land in Georgia because the United States wanted Cherokee land. Historians today still debate about whether the Cherokees should have stayed or left. Cherokee representatives believed that the United States will let them stay, while Boudinot believed that they should leave otherwise the United States would force them out in a violent way. One reason why removal offered the best chance for Cherokee…

Should Andrew Jackson be removed off of the 20 dollar bill? I believe Andrew Jackson should be removed off of the 20 dollar because he was cruel towards the American Indians and He only supported the white males.

In my opinion, the major challenge that Andrew Jackson faced was the war with the bank. This challenge, especially shows Jackson’s power as a President. He imposed his ideas, whether it was constitutional or not onto the nation. Now long story short: the Bank was about to expire, and Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, who were supporters of the Bank, convinced Nicholas Biddle, the bank’s president to apply for the renewal of the bank 4 years early. They speculated that this would damage Andrew…

Andrew Jackson was the first president that did not come from a colonial family. His parents were Scots-Irish immigrants who were poor. They came to the Carolina’s within the second half of the eighteenth century. Just before he was born, his father was killed. Jackson soon became an attorney, when he had learned more about the law. He knew a lot about farming and the land to grow wealthy, when he was fighting with the Indians. Jackson would have not been much different than John Quincy Adams.…

The Indian Removal Act was passed to hasten the process of removal, and many nations ceded their lands . (Indian Removal Act) Mr. Jackson claimed that separating the Natives and putting them on reservations actually helped them from the whites. The Cherokees tried stopping the removal process by pointing at Cherokee Nation v. Georgia and Worcester v. Georgia, but Jackson remarked “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.” (Kurtz) In 1838 and 1839 as a part of President Andrew…
