Revision as of 18:46, 6 August 2013 by imported>General MGD 109

Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States. Although he cared for others and was responsible for many good things, including expanding America's territory (including the sate of Florida), introducing the Tariff act in 1832, and providing the people with laws they wanted rather than leaving everything up to congress, he later had a darker side; he was involved in the Trail of Tears, where he abused the constitution and caused a genocide. Also he invaded South Carolina when the state opposed his Tariff act, forcing them to compromise. 60,000 + Cherokee alone were killed during his "Indian" Removal Act which he were bent on enacting.
