6. Who is Andrew Jackson? War of 1812 Hero Orphan – family “killed by British” Frontiersman Horse racer Indian fighter Land speculator “Old Hickory” – one tough cookie “self-made man” Not from Virginia or Adams
7. Campaign of 1824 - 1828 1824 - Major Sectionalism – people couldn’t pick a winner 1824 – went to HR – Picked John Quincy Adams 1828 – Ruthless campaign – Adams vs. Jackson Jackson Wins

9. Spoils System Informal practice where a political party, after winning an election, gives government jobs to its voters as a reward for working toward victory, and as an incentive to keep working for the party As opposed to a system of awarding offices on the basis of some measure of merit independent of political activity. The term was derived from the phrase "'to the victor belong the spoils…” Westerners/Jackson supporters, came to DC expecting pres. to give them jobs
10. Jacksonian Democracy Tried to get ‘regular people’ more involved in democracy Example, all white men can now vote, not just land owners Want for the ‘common man’ to have more of a say in his government – Supported Manifest Destiny Avoid Slavery argument
11. Changes in Elections Does away with caucus system, creates nominating conventions
12. The Tariff Debate – North vs. South 1828 – high tariff placed on European Imported manufactured goods North – loved tariff, made European goods more expensive, people bought North produced products South – Hated the tariff, meant higher prices for them Group of Southern states decided to protest – they felt they should be able to nullify, or “undo,” the law
13. South Protests Some Southerners, including the VP, wanted to secede from the union South’s argument: since the states decided to join the union, they should get to decide if they leave Two senators, Webster and Hayne, got into major debates about this in the Senate. Became known as Webster-Hayne Debate
14. What did Jackson do? He was invited to speak at a dinner with Southerners who wanted to secede. Said, “Our federal union…must be preserved!” He did not support states leaving In response, his VP said, “The union—next to our liberty, most dear,” and resigned from the VP job to be elected into the Senate to debate
15. Nullification Crisis The state of South Carolina passed a law saying they would not pay the high tariff In response, Jackson passed the Force Bill, saying he would use the army to make South Carolinians pay the tariff They compromised and created a lower tariff – no side was truly happy about this
17. Toxic Assets Banks – Bad loans US government Private Sector
18. Native American Relations 5 Native Tribes Involved: Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, Chicasaw and Seminole nations Americans were eager for land to raise cotton, Jackson agreed Some Peaceful negogations: 1814-24, natives traded land in east for land in the west The tribes agreed to the treaties for strategic reasons. They wanted to appease the government in the hopes of retaining some of their land, and they wanted to protect themselves from white harassment. US took control of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky and North Carolina. This was voluntary Indian migration, however, and only a small number of Creeks, Cherokee and Choctaws actually moved
19. Johnson v. M'Intosh, 1823 case in which the Supreme Court held that private citizens could not purchase lands directly from Indians US got land on old European colonization practices – so the only people who could buy the land from natives, was the US “Right of Occupancy” subordinate to the “right of Discovery” >
20. Indian Removal Act - 1830 president got the power to negotiate removal treaties with Indian tribes living east of the Mississippi. Natives who stayed had to become citizens of the US State they lived in Supposed to be voluntary and peaceful, but the southeastern nations resisted, and Jackson forced them to leave.
21. Trail of tears The Cherokee were tricked with a bad treaty. Cherokee given 2 yrs. to migrate voluntarily By 1838 only 2,000 had migrated; 16,000 remained U.S. sent in troops forced the Cherokees into stockades at bayonet point. They were not allowed time to gather their belongings, and as they left, whites looted their homes. Began the march known as the Trail of Tears 4,000 Cherokee people died of cold, hunger, and disease on their way to the western lands.
22. Results: By 1837, the Jackson administration had removed 46,000 Native American people from their land east of the Mississippi, opening 25 million acres of land to white settlement and to slavery.
