Andrew Jackson, the seventh president, can be listed among the United States’
greatest leaders. He had many different personal skills which in turn helped him to
become one of the presidents of our nation. Some of these skills include being a
lawyer, a judge, politician, a war hero, and most importantly a great leader. Andrew
Jackson can be listed among the great men that formed this country to what it is today.
Using his great leadership skills, Andrew Jackson gave this country everything he had,
and helped any way he could.
Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1857 into a poverty driven family of Irish
immigrants. He was born in the Wax-haws region which is on the border of North and South
Carolina. His father died before the war, and his mother and siblings all died during the war from disease or other causes, leaving him an orphan at the age of 14. When he was a kid he only received sporadic education, and education back then was just simply not enough. But he did well and eventually went on to study law. After he graduated from college, he served as a judge in the Tennessee state district. He was also on the committee that formed the Tennessee state constitution (“Andrew Jackson,” 2014). His war career really started his teenage years when he served as a courier during the war of 1812. His hate for the British also started at a young age. It was said that a British officer broke into Andrews house and demanded that he shine his shoes, when Andrew refused The drunk soldier slashed him across the face leaving him with scars that would last forever. Due to his fiery temper, he often engaged himself in many duels with his enemies, all of which he won. In his adulthood, because of all the s...

gave to the people of the country, he took power from the government and let the
people decide. Instead of making heavy laws that dictated them he let them govern
themselves. He was a president that really brought out the liberty and freedom that this
great country was founded on. He gave it all, all those skills of being a lawyer, judge,
politician, war hero, and a leader he put his heart into it. Sure he may have made a
couple of bad decisions here and there, but everyone does. Andrew Jackson can and
should be listed in the list of great American presidents because he had the guts to give
everything he was about to the people and didn't hold anything back, and it wore on him
too because he died from it. So in a way you could say that he really did give his life for
this great country of the United States of America.
Andrew Jackson was undoubtedly a man of the people. He was the first president to be chosen by the people and his background was not that of a typical president. He was not born into a rich family. Jackson's favored the general public rather than the wealthy. His election shifted the balance of power from the wealthy East Coast, to farmers and small businesspeople in the west. Jackson vetoed more bills than all previous presidents did in an attempt to help the common man.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of America who had a very unique time in office. Jackson advertised as being for the people of the United States but then his actions proved otherwise at later times. While Jackson did things for the people, he was as much of an autocrat as he was a democrat based upon the documents that were formed during his time in office.
Andrew Jackson was the 7th president of the United States and represented the common people. He did many things that he believed helped the people of the United States, but in fact were unconstitutional. In my opinion Andrew Jackson acted like a king. Some of the damaging events of his presidency include the bank war, the trail of tears and the nullification crisis.
Andrew Jackson was a good president. He helped shaped the United States to the way it is today. Andrew Jackson had his up and downs as any president would. Jackson did what he thought was good for the common man. He was a common man who brought himself up all the way from he bottom.
Andrew Jackson was elected by popular vote and became the seventh president of the United States in March 4, 1829.[1] In his presidency, I have known and perceived that he has done few of great actions. But in my opinion, I would not claim that he was either a good or bad president because I learned about his attainments in life, being a president, a fighter in wars, etc.; however, I have also learned some of his unimpressive performance that led to some people who did not find it convenient.
Andrew Jackson was the epitome of the American Dream. He worked his way from being an orphan and a war prisoner before he was 14, to being the greatest military general America had ever seen. He won the battle of New Orleans and took over Florida with his own army. Common citizens marveled at his war tactics and his record of cheating death. He ran for President in 1824 and nearly won, if not for a “corrupt bargain”. He was the champion of the people, and the common men loved him. Despite all this, Andrew Jackson is infamous as one of the worst Presidents in the history of the United States. As President, he caused the economic crisis of 1837, he implemented the spoils system to reward cronies, and he ordered the genocide of Native
Andrew Jackson was like no other president before him. The previous presidents had one thing in common, they were all part of the founding fathers or in John Quincy Adam’s case was the son of a founding father. However Jackson was a plantation owner from the west who had no connections with the government. He also had different views from other presidents that made his presidency unique. Two things that separated Andrew Jackson’s presidency from previous presidencies were he reached out to the common people and he was disapproving of the Bank of United States.
I say that he was a true hero for America and for aviation. He did no matter what he had to do to make sure he helped advance aviation. He was a true hero for aviation because he worked and risked his life multiple times not just for his fame but so aviation could continue to grow. I believe he never turned on America and everything he did was for the benefit of America. He was a true hero that had a goal and he wanted to complete that goal. He did all he could to help aviation because that is what he believed very deeply in.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was loathed by some and yet loved by so many. Becoming one of the most beloved presidents in U.S. history for the four terms he was in office. His unusual charm and optimism that he communicated through the confidence of others is what people easily remembered him by. He often brought a confidence and a smile in to any room he entered and yet never underestimated his own responsibilities to specific situations that needed his undivided attention. Those actions alone helped sustained the nation through some of it’s darker times such as the Great Depression and World War II.
Andrew Jackson also known as, “The people’s choice,” was a self made man. He represented the South and the Western frontier expansionism. He was a strong military leader, a superior Court judge, and an Indian fighter. Jackson represented the common man. The United States of America benefitted greatly from the actions of Andrew Jackson.

He seemed to be the very embodiment of the worst kind of angry racism, sexism, homophobia, general intolerance and arbitrary discrimination that makes for good reactionary politics.
