Answer:
Yes he was a great president (not as good as George Washington though)
Explanation:
Jackson become a hero for defeating the British Army at New Orleans, that is what made him such a good president, he was also a general for the United States Army and then In January of 1832, while the President was dining with friends at the White House, someone whispered to him that the Senate had rejected the nomination of Martin Van Buren as Minister to England. Jackson jumped to his feet and exclaimed, “By the Eternal! I’ll smash them!” So he did. His favorite, Van Buren, became Vice President, and succeeded to the Presidency when “Old Hickory” retired to the Hermitage, where he died in June 1845.
Answer:
I believe that he was because it overcomes his negative effects as president.
Explanation:
I believe that he was because it overcomes his negative effects as president. Yes, he was a traitor and a dictator which I do not stand for. However, he did so much good at the same time. He was the only President to be a veteran in the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. He was a President that remained committed to this nation and protected the common man and common welfare of the common man. He did enslave people but many President's at the time did that too. For example, George Washington owned/inherited slaves as well. In the 1800s, slavery was still in existence and people had yet to learn that it was wrong. It took many movements and reformations when Christianity played a massive role to eliminate slavery and establish equality.
Andrew Jackson also had some remarkable effects on our economy such as erasing the U.S. economy's debt entirely. He used his commanding presence, strong mindedness, good willpower, and a personality that ultimately showed a reflection of his decisiveness and strength not only as a President but as a person. He grew very popular and became known as the people's President by putting an end to the Second Bank and founding the Democratic Party. Unlike many Federalists, he supported individual rights and liberties and in the pursuit of happiness. He also negotiated in the trade agreement with Great Britain which opened American trade with Canada and the British West Indies. Even though President Jackson owned slaves and tried to veto a bill, without him, our nation would have still been in enormous debt, trade would be limited, the outcomes of the wars would have been different, and we wouldn't have a Democratic Party.
