Based on what we learned about Andrew Jackson we think Andrew Jackson is a villain because he forced like 100,000 Native Americans to leave their home causing 3,000 Native Americans to die.

We view Andrew Jackson as a villain because he killed thousands of innocent Cherokee tribe members, and made them walk the trail of tears.

I would classify Andrew Jackson as a villain because he would break the constitution constantly and because around 3,000 people died during the trial of tears and he was ignoring the court.

Based on what we learned about Andrew Jackson today we would classify him as a villain because, a leader and a hero will acts exactly like it…. Thousands of people died around the trail of tears and him not looking back and pitying, means a very unfortunate action for him.
