Detailed explanation-1: -His presidency is perhaps best remembered for his cruelty to Native Americans. A proponent of “Indian removal, ” Jackson wanted to clear newly acquired territories of the Native Americans who lived there so that white settlers could claim the land-and its natural resources-as their own.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Democratic party was Jackson’s child; the national two-party system was his legacy. Jackson’s drive for party organization was spurred by his own difficulties with Congress. Unlike other famously strong Presidents, Jackson defined himself not by enacting a legislative program but by thwarting one.
Detailed explanation-3: -A major general in the War of 1812, Jackson became a national hero when he defeated the British at New Orleans.
Detailed explanation-4: -Jackson’s Presidency was marked by four major issues: The Second Bank of the United States, the Tariff of 1828, the Nullification Crisis, and Indian Removal.
