Andrew Jackson: Tyrant

When the 1828 election rolled well-nigh, a lot of people were panicked when they heard Andrew Old Hickory capital of Mississippi was running. If youre wondering how a cat-o-nine-tails were calling a bad ass got such a feeble nickname, its because he used to carry a hickory cane around and beat people senseless with it, and if youre wondering why he did that, its because he was a f$%*in g lunatic. (Daniel OBrien February 15, 2008) This quote from cracked.com illustrates the judgment of the ruthlessness within Andrew capital of Mississippi, and it is this callousness that made him a tyrant of a President.His decisions were calculated. Andrew Jackson was cognize to be the type of person who would launch his friends into political science as a reward instead of the people who would actually be good for the job. This was called the Spoil System. The main purpose for the Spoil System was to underwrite that when the party control changed, so did the administrators.Andrew Jackson was also known for winning advantage of his superpower in the executive branch, while ignoring the Judicial and legislative branches. He abused his power to veto to try to make himself much powerful than congress, and he ended up using the veto close to sixteen times. Andrew Jackson was who started the act that moved thousands of Indian families to Oklahoma. This displacement was what became known as the Trail of Tears. The Natives were forced to walk across the country during the pass with nothing but clothes, where nearly 2000 Native Americans died.Jackson must have theme it was okay for him to evict them because of his thought to designate their own land to embody on, even though the Native had so many advances in enough civilized so they could be accepted by him and other citizens. Andrew Jackson was one of the deepgest slave owners in the south and he was a big believer in Manifest Destiny, which he supported the right of whites to strike North America. Jackson was also known for breaking campaign policies.He had say that he supported state government, but ended up expanding national government and that caused a lot of controversy. A good president would not jeopardize the lives of innocent people or try to steal power to make himself the center of the government. A good president wouldnt put himself before his own people. For these reasons I believe that even though Jackson may have done some things to help our country, overall he was a horrible president.
