Based on what we learned about Andrew Jackson today, I would classify him as a hero because he did indeed help many common men during his presidency. He made the National Bank more fair to poor white farmers, and was very popular with them. However, he did disobey the Constitution. He kicked hundreds of thousands of Native Americans out of their homes despite the wishes of the Supreme Court. However, he was a good president who showed that rich people were not the only ones who could hold government positions.

Based on what we learned about Andrew Jackson today, he is not a good person because he based his thoughts ONLY on what common white men would want.

Based on what we learned in class today we would classify him as a hero because he was a war hero, from the American Revolution to the War of 1812, culminating in his greatest victory at New Orleans. He enforced many laws as president and brought us to a new era.
