 * __ Andrew Jackson, More or Less Democratic?  __**

the actions that his did to America. **
 * Andrew Jackson was not very democratic. He acted like a king and treated the Indians poorly. In this essay I am going to tell you my opinion on Jackson and some of


 * He first made the Indians move to a new place because of color and the land that he wanted, he made it seem like he was saving them; when really he does not care. He adopted an Indian son and says that he is the last of his kind and that the others would have killed him. Ironically it was his fault that the boy was only one of his kinds because Jackson was the one that made the tribe go on the trail of tears and it is his fault that they died. He only adopted the boy to make him seem like a good person. **


 * Jackson also wanted to change the laws by making anyone that wanted to work in congress. He ended up making his friend work for him in congress even after Van Buren told him it would be a bad idea. Jackson’s friend ended up stealing a lot of money from the government. Van Buren was right and Jackson was embarrassed. So basically he changed the laws so that his friend got a good job rather than someone that disserved the job and worked for it. **

**The painting of Jackson as a king; I think is 100% true. The painting/cartoon was put up in public during the presidential election of 1832. He is stepping on the constitution and the bank of America because he never followed their rules and just made his own. The American eagle (American symbol) is the stand to the desk behind him, which mean he did not care that much for America. He has a veto scroll in his hand, this meant that he did not accept the laws that the senate wanted, he just always said no with what the congress thought was right; when really the congress was right. he is dressed as a king which is two things, the king rules all and that is the way he ruled by being the only one making the laws; it is also a big insult to him because this was after the revolution so it was after America finally being free of a king and the painting is saying that Jackson was acting like the king they hated. Finally around the painting there are words, “Born to Command. Had I been consulted of veto memory? King Andrew the first.” To me this means that Jackson was not told what to do and when to veto a law, like the presidents in the past were. And it is saying that Jackson was born to be a king.** 

It is only 4 paragraphs so it needs 1 more about jackson or a conclusion, i did not put a conclusion on the final draft so yea, sorry.
