Andrew Jackson, U.S. President \n\nBorn: 15 March 1767 \nBirthplace: Waxhaw, South Carolina \nDied: 8 June 1845 \nBest Known As: President of the United States, 1829-37 \n\nA veteran of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, Andrew Jackson was popularly known as "Old Hickory" for his ruggedness. He gained national fame when he ran the British out of New Orleans in 1815, and he governed the Florida territory from 1821-23. He used his image as hero of the wild frontier to win the presidential elections of 1828 and then win re-election in 1832. Jackson, following the example of George Washington, chose not to seek a third term, and supported his vice president, Martin Van Buren for the presidency. Jackson was a staunch champion of states' rights against federalism, and his administration was marked by expansion in Texas, wars with the Indians and his rejection of the Bank of the United States.

More Democratic...Possibly.  During this time, we had a rather dynamic change in leadership, namley Andrew.   The years of President Jackson is when the nation was experiencing a change in social, political, and economics.  People now believed that power, wealth, and position should and could be obtained if there is an equal opportunity, ambition, intelligence, and a strong work ethic.  This thought which washed away the colonial socioeconomic system (when public service jobs were inherited), was brought by an emerging industrial and market system.\n\nJackson being from the newly formed Democratic Party rejected elitist views of his predecessors in favor of an egalitarian approach to public service.  Egalitarians usually are characterized by belief in equal political, economic, social, and civil rights for all people (Remember, this was during the time of slavery, however).  Jackson believed governemnt should be open to all people.

This means Democracy in its purest form ... Government of the people, by the people, and for the people ... as laid down by Abraham Lincoln (Getty'sburg Address).  Jackson was a co-founder of the Democratic Party.  He was particularly keen on this motto after his first run for presidency failed, notwithstanding that Jackson was popularly considered the "man of the people".  However, no candidate received a majority so the election decision was given to the House of Representatives, which chose John Quincy Adams.  Jackson maintained that a "corrupt bargain" had been made because Henry Clay gave his vote to Adams - who then made Clay Secretary of State.  Jackson called for the abolition of the Electoral College.\n\nHowever, this democracy of the people did not appear to have included the native American Indian - (Indian Removal Act 1830) - since it was Jackson's removal policies which literally created Reservation ghettos.  His Government negotiated so-called treaties with the hapless natives and paid peanuts for the lucrative and fertile grounds which the native American Indian considered their natural home.  The later Treaty of New Echota, 1838, (negotiated after gold was found on the Cherokee lands) resulting in the Cherokee "Trail of Tears".\n\nObviously, in Jackson's eyes, some people were more "democratically" equal than others!!

Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory, was a very successful president.  Having been a General in the War of 1812 and lead the American Force's to Victory in the Battle Of New Orleans, he was already a national hero.  Things were going to be done his way or they were not going to be done at all.  As President, Jackson vetoed more legislation than any other president and often changed members of his cabinent as well as other advisors when they were in dispute to his policies.  As President he probably used his control of the Executive Branch of our Government in a stronger manner than those before him and certainly many that came after him.  He was the 8th President of the United States and served from 1833 to 1841.
