What was the significance of Andrew Jackson?

Answer 1

Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States from 1829 to 1937. He believed in greater democracy for the common man. He fought for the rights of common man and thus had a big impact in American history. He was the creator and the leader of the Democratic Party in America.

Answer 2

Andrew Jackson is important to U.S. history because he has influenced so many future presidents. For example, in the incident with South Carolina where SC wanted to secede, Jackson issues the Doctrine of Nullification and was ready to use military force to keep them in the union. this has influenced future presidents like Lincoln to preserve the union. Also, Jackson was one of the first presidents truly for the common man. He was the first president to be voted in by the common man (universal male suffrage). Plus, he vetoed the national bank because he viewed it as favoring the elite. The bank was a private, monopolistic institution not accountable to the people but to its elite circle of investers. (Now, we have a PUBLIC bank). This has influenced future presidents like Theodore Roosevelt and Taft to take down big corporations that were rising at the expense of the people. In addition, he advocated for western expansion by passing the Indian removal act. This allowed settlers to travel more freely without the hazard of Indian raids. This would evolve into Imperialism once the frontier is consumed.
