The essential question for this week was "Is Andrew Jackson's long-standing reputation as a "the people's president" deserved? Why? Why not?" I believe that it was deserved. Jackson was set on pleasing everyone. He wanted the poor and the rich to be equal. Jackson thought that the bank had too much power so he tried to even it out with the Bank War. Also he came up with her spoils system, that is when a political party gives government jobs to voters / supporters after an election victory. Also called rotation in office. Some people didn't like this approach so Jackson sent s letter. Jackson's letter to congress was basically saying there is nothing wrong with change and just because someone's been doing a job for very long doesn't mean you have to keep them at that job, you need to shake things up.
This is a message from Andrew Jackson to Congress. Jackson is saying that it is wrong to remove the Indians because it was their land first. He thinks that they should move voluntarily not by force. He wants to have a designated area for each tribe to use in anyway they want. Jackson is a people person from the point of view of the Indians they probably like him because he isn't persuading them or forcing them in anyway to leave their home.
