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.

The spoils system was a terrible idea. Putting a bunch of people with the same views in your cabinet wont represent the people as a whole.

the kitchen cabinet was a bad decision. Even though AJ brought in journalists with fresh ideas, what gov't experience do they have? A bunch of his bffs should'nt be chosen to run the country.
