Dedicated to the people who had different opinions on Andrew Jackson
Once upon a time, a common man named Andrew Jackson assisted the Government during the War of 1812. He was deemed a war hero after the Battle of New Orleans. Later, in 1824, he decides to run for President but unfortunately loses due to Corrupt Bargain between John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay. However, during the election, there were an increased amount of voters and Jackson created a new political party! Even though Jackson lost in the election of 1824, he ran again in 1828 and became the "People's President" due to the support he received from the common man. After he became President, many problems arose. It started with the Spoils System, then the removal of the Second Bank of the United States, the Nullification Crisis, and Indian Removal Act. This causes a debate between the common men and elected officials.
Nullification Crisis
Removal of Second Bank
Spoils System
Indian Removal Act
Jackson's Presidency in 1828
"Today, the trial occurs to determine if Andrew Jackson was a good president or not", states the Judge. A few moments later, Andrew Jackson enters the courtroom and states his name and argument. "Hello, dear citizens of the United States. I am your President, Andrew Jackson. I have come to prove myself clean and not guilty. I would like to say, I am a common man myself, so I just want us to have all the rights and freedoms." He also adds, "I helped our country fight during the War of 1812 against Britain and the Natives, yet you all address me as King. I am deeply saddened to hear how my own country has turned against me, but I will stand here for you all until we receive a court ruling. Just remember, I want us to have more land and freedoms, so I established those Acts and laws."
Today, the trial occurs to determine if Andrew Jackson was a good president or not
Hello, dear citizens of the United States. I am your President, Andrew Jackson. I have come to prove myself clean and not guilty. I would like to say, I am a common man myself, so I just want us to have all the rights and freedoms.
Once Andrew Jackson finished speaking, he sat in his seat. The Judge calls the defense lawyer up on the stands. The defense then calls 2 witnesses. The first witness was Martin Van Buren. The defense says, "Hello Mr.Buren. Now, let's get started, shall we? Now, can you tell me your relationship with Mr.Jackson?" Martin Van Buren then states, "Hello, I am a close friend of Mr.Jackson. I was Jackson's Secretary of State. I resigned from Senate later and replaced Calhoun as his opponent. In 1835, I was nominated President by Andrew Jackson and received his support." The lawyer asks, "Thank you, now can you elaborate on Jackson's behavior?" The Witness states, "I believe he is a good man, for he came from the common man, so he had that determination to help them at all costs. Some people were blinded by his flaws, and they didn't see his good actions. He fought for our country, he wanted to improve the economy when establishing the Indian Removal Act by providing us access to land."
Hello, I am a close friend of Mr.Jackson. I was Jackson's Secretary of State. I resigned from Senate later and replaced Calhoun as his opponent. In 1835, I was nominated President by Andrew Jackson and received his support.
Hello Mr.Buren. Now, let's get started, shall we? Now, can you tell me about your relationship with Mr.Jackson?
"Thank you," the lawyer replies. He then calls the next witness to come up to the stands. The witness was Daniel Webster. The witness then walks up. The lawyer starts questioning him, "Hello, would you please state your name and relationship to Mr.Jackson?" The witness replies, "Hello, my name is Daniel Webster, and I was a lawyer who practiced at the Supreme Court. During Jackson's Presidency, I became a U.S. Congressman and witnessed the time of the Nullification Crisis. I supported Jackson when Calhoun wanted the states to nullify unconstitutional laws and secede from the Union. What outrageous behavior Calhoun had! The federal government has more power, so we are not weak like the previous government (AOC). We did not agree to states' rights over the federal government. I could see that Jackson was only trying to be helpful and considerate, but others saw him as a villain.
Hello, my name is Daniel Webster, and I was a lawyer who practiced at the Supreme Court. During Jackson's Presidency, I became a U.S. Congressman and witnessed the time of the Nullification Crisis. I supported Jackson when Calhoun wanted the states to nullify unconstitutional laws and secede from the Union.
Webster adds, "In addition, it isn't like I always respected and sided with Jackson. I disagreed and assisted him in coming to a reasonable decision when it came to removing the Second Bank of the United States." The lawyer then says, "Thank you, you may return to your seat." The Judge then calls the prosecution lawyer and asks him to call his witnesses. The lawyer calls his first witness to the stand, John C. Calhoun. The lawyer says, "Hello, please state your name and relation to Mr.Jackson." The witness then says, "Hello, I am John C. Calhoun, Vice President of Jackson during his presidency. I would like to expand and elaborate on my time working with him." The lawyer replies with a nod. "I was a man who supported states' rights. I believed the states had a right to rebel if their rights were violated. When Jackson enforced the Tariff of Abominations, I was furious and resigned as Vice President. I threatened Jackson saying South Carolina would secede from the union if more taxes were applied."
Hello, please state your name and relation to Mr.Jackson.
Hello, I am John C. Calhoun, Vice President of Jackson during his presidency. I would like to expand and elaborate on my time working with him. I was a man who supported states' rights. I believed the states had a right to rebel if their rights were violated.
Jackson got angry by this and tried to send troops to enforce the law, but we all compromised on a common decision. This was the Nullification Crisis." The lawyer thanked the witness and called the next person. Next Osceola walked up to the stands. The lawyer asked the same thing, "Please state your name and relation to the accused." The witness then replied, "I am Osceola a Seminole Leader, and I was impacted by Jackson's Indian Removal Act. During the Presidency, he wanted to acquire more land for the white settlers, and expand the growth of the economy by providing them access to land that contained gold. I was impacted, for I had to leave my native land from Florida with my tribe and had to move to Oklahoma after the Indian Removal Act was passed. I was unhappy, so I tried to resist the Act and the U.S. Army's force to deport me and my tribe ."
Please state your name and relation to the accused.

The lawyer thanked the witness and the Judge added, "Before I make the final verdict, does anyone want to make final arguments and ask questions?" The prosecution lawyer raises his hands and asks Martin Van Buren, "You believe Jackson is a good man, but hearing some of the victims of Jackson doesn't make you think twice? You heard some of my witnesses. They mentioned how he dissembled the Second National Bank of the United States and changed it into state banks, he established the Indian Removal Act and made Cherokee Indians travel through the Trail of Tears, and established the Tariff of Abominations, which led to the Nullification Crisis, and brought the Spoils System into practice." Buren hesitated and replied, "Yes, I believe he did do that, but he wanted to learn from the time period where our country was ruled by Britain. He wanted state banks to be a thing,
Before I make the final verdict, does anyone want to make final arguments and ask questions?
Yes, your honor.
