Andrew Jackson 2
Andrew Jackson was a man for the people. He was not only a good president but a great general too. The common man looked at him as a wonderful person who played the government into the hands of the public. "...And on the intelligence and wisdom of our countrymen. Through His abundant goodness and their patriotic devotion our liberty and Union will be preserved." Jackson played many vital roles concerning the execution of the U.S. Bank, the numerous tariffs that faced him, and the removal of the Indians. The Bank war could have been avoided and compromised if a man named Bidle did not challenge Jackson's pride and leadership position on the Presidency and the Democratic Party. Jackson's reasons for the removal of the bank seem selfish but he put those reasons into the population by twisting the words around. One of the main reasons for his hatred of the bank is the financial loss he took during the Allison affair. The Allison affair was between a group of people, and a man named Dave Allison.

He also said, "The Constitution "forms a government, not a league. A single nation was formed to which the states surrendered parts of sovereignty in becoming parts of a nation." No other states sided with South Carolina and opposed their threats of secession. That ended the case with S.C. The last thing is the relationship with the Indians. Jackson, like Jefferson believed that the removal of the Indians was a solution to National safety of the colonists, and to help maintain Indian culture and existence in the U.S. The Removal Act of 1830 was
