About Me
- Andrew Jackson
- Being the great president that I was, I believe that the common people matter. I promoted western expansion and internal improvements throughout the country. I fought against the rechartering of the Bank of the United States. My "spoils system" helped give the common people a voice in their government. I was born on March 15th, 1767 in South Carolina. I never recieved a formal education. I became the 7th President of the United States in 1829 and served two full terms in office. My Vice-President was John C. Calhoun and later Martin Van Buren. Earlier in my political career I was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, a Senator from Tennessee, and the first Territorial Governor of Florida. Before my career in politics, I served in the United States militia and fought in the War of 1812 at the Battle of New Orleans. I married Rachel Donelson Robards in 1791. She passed away in 1828, only two months before I took office as President. I had two adopted sons, Andrew Jackson Jr., the son of Rachel's brother Severn Donelson, and Lycoya, a Creek Indian orphan. My wife and I also served as guardians for eight other children.

Andrew Jackson is definetly not the common man's president. He may have given the comman man a say in the government during the kitchen cabinet, but everyone will have the same views because they are his closest friends. Jackson also fought against the Supreme Court and used a military force against his people. Jackson vetoed way too many projects.

Andrew Jackson's "kitchen cabinet" did not help anything. By him picking his own cabinet, being his "buddies" that couldn't have helped the country at all. These people don't know what they are doing and should have never been chosen to be in the cabinet. Jackson did not make good ideas with this chosen cabinet! -ac
Andrew Jackson is not even close to being the common man's president. His kitchen cabinet didn't do anything for the people. All it was, was a bunch of his friends just agreeing with w/e he said. He thought that by having common people in a separate cabinet would make him more of a common man's president, but he was WRONG!! - MT
