ANDREW JACKSON

BACKGROUND Nicknamed “Old Hickory” War hero (Battle of New Orleans) Indian fighter Wealthy Tennessee plantation owner First president elected from the west Considered the first president of the “common man.”

ELECTION OF 1824 The two major candidates were Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams. Although Jackson won the popular vote, no candidate had a majority in the Electoral College. So, for the second time in history, the House of Representatives would decide who would be the President.

Who should I support? Hamilton must have asked the same question. THE CORRUPT BARGAIN? The House chose Adams over Jackson. Henry Clay supported Adams, and he was later named Sec. of State Jackson said that he and the people had been cheated. Who should I support? Hamilton must have asked the same question. John Quincy Adams Henry Clay Andrew Jackson

THE DEMOCRATS Jackson started the Democratic Party to fight Adams. With this new party, Jackson came back in 1828 and defeated Adams. Jackson became our 7th president.

JACKSONIAN DEMOCRACY Jackson believed that the rich and powerful had corrupted the government. Jackson began policies which he believed would return power to the people. Many Americans loved Jackson’s tough guy image.

THE SPOILS SYSTEM Jackson rewarded his supporters with government jobs. “To the victor go the spoils.”

3 Major Issues of Jackson’s Presidency TARIFF AND NULLIFICATION INDIANS BANK WAR

INDIAN POLICY Jackson supported the Indian Removal Act which authorized the removal of the Five Civilized Tribes to the Indian Territory. Why would the government want to remove the Indians? What could the Indians do? What is the Indian Territory called today? Land 1. Americanize 2. Fight 3. Relocate Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma

INDIAN POLICY In the case of Worcester v. Georgia, the Supreme Court ruled the Cherokees could stay on their land. Said Jackson: “John Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it.” What point is Jackson making? He will ignore the ruling.

THE TRAIL OF TEARS Thousands of Choctaw, Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole died during the forced removal to lands west of the Mississippi.

TARIFF Congress passed a protective tariff in order to protect new American industries. Which region of the country liked the tariff? Why? Which region of the nation disliked the tariff? North The stuff they make will sell better South The stuff they buy is more expensive

CHEAP IMPORTED MANUFACTURED GOODS With a tariff, the North is helped because their goods are now cheaper than the imports. However, the South is hurt because they are now paying more. Cheap foreign goods were being imported to the U.S. and this was hurting American manufacturers who lived in the North.

THE NULLIFICATION CRISIS South Carolina disliked the tariff and refused to collect it. This means they nullified the federal law. What does nullify mean? This South nicknamed the tariff the “tariff of abomination” An abomination is anything that is greatly disliked This created sectionalism. Ignore South Carolina flag John Calhoun Vice Pres. Native of South Carolina

JACKSON’S RESPONSE Jackson threatened to lead the army into South Carolina and hang the “traitors.” Henry Clay introduced a compromise bill lowering the tariff IF South Carolina obeyed the law. South Carolina threatened to secede, but then they backed down and compromised.

THE BANK WAR He said it helped the rich and it printed paper money. Jackson distrusted the idea of a National Bank. Why? Jackson waged a personal war against the Bank. He withdrew federal money from the Bank and spread it to smaller state banks. (Pet banks) He said it helped the rich and it printed paper money.

WHY IS JACKSON IMPORTANT? Jackson served two terms and left office in 1836. He expanded democracy for the average citizen (common man). He set the precedent for how the government would deal with Indians. He set the precedent for banking policies. Inauguration Day King Andrew

THE PANIC OF 1837 As a result of destroying the Bank, a panic swept the nation. This caused an economic depression. The new president, Martin Van Buren, was blamed for the economic problems. He earned the nickname Martin Van “Ruin”.

THE ELECTION OF 1840 Campaign poster---1840 The Whig party, which was opposed to the Jacksonian Democrats, ran William Henry Harrison in 1840 under the slogan “Tippecanoe and Tyler too.” Harrison defeated Van Buren but died in office after serving only 1 month as President. Harrison Tyler
