Andrew Jackson, U.S. President \n\nBorn: 15 March 1767 \nBirthplace: Waxhaw, South Carolina \nDied: 8 June 1845 \nBest Known As: President of the United States, 1829-37 \n\nA veteran of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, Andrew Jackson was popularly known as "Old Hickory" for his ruggedness. He gained national fame when he ran the British out of New Orleans in 1815, and he governed the Florida territory from 1821-23. He used his image as hero of the wild frontier to win the presidential elections of 1828 and then win re-election in 1832. Jackson, following the example of George Washington, chose not to seek a third term, and supported his vice president, Martin Van Buren for the presidency. Jackson was a staunch champion of states' rights against federalism, and his administration was marked by expansion in Texas, wars with the Indians and his rejection of the Bank of the United States.

Republicans. He didn't take a party label, but his principles were clearly Federalist. He certainly believed in a strong defense. I don't think any of our founding fathers would support most of the Dem social positions such as gay marriage & abortion.

Well before 1865 (Lincoln took office in 1861)only white men could vote. In 1865 slaves were so called emancipated and black men were supposedly given the right to vote. However, because of "black codes" very few black men were able to excercise their right to vote.  So no, the common person did not have the right to vote.  A constitutional amendment allowed all American women to vote in 1920.

More Democratic...Possibly.  During this time, we had a rather dynamic change in leadership, namley Andrew.   The years of President Jackson is when the nation was experiencing a change in social, political, and economics.  People now believed that power, wealth, and position should and could be obtained if there is an equal opportunity, ambition, intelligence, and a strong work ethic.  This thought which washed away the colonial socioeconomic system (when public service jobs were inherited), was brought by an emerging industrial and market system.\n\nJackson being from the newly formed Democratic Party rejected elitist views of his predecessors in favor of an egalitarian approach to public service.  Egalitarians usually are characterized by belief in equal political, economic, social, and civil rights for all people (Remember, this was during the time of slavery, however).  Jackson believed governemnt should be open to all people.

JUST A FEW SUGGESTIONS SO THAT IT READS A BIT SMOOTHER...(I'M A TEACHER!)\n\nAFTER ONLY seventeen days, Thomas Jefferson finished WRITING the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration stated that men should be created equal, and have some unalienable rights.\nWilliam Pennington's dream was what Jefferson HAD stated in the Declaration of Independence. He wanted to escape from slavery, to the free state of Pennsylvania. If he were to be caught, he would be sent to the far South, never to return. Leaving his loving family, AND FACING MANY OBSTACLES ALONG THE WAY, he finally made it to Pennsylvania, ACHIEVING HIS LIFELONG GOAL OF FREEDOM. \nElizabeth Stanton FELT THAT IT WAS UNFAIR THAT WOMEN HAD FEWER RIGHTS THAN MEN. SHE BELIEVED THAT WOMEN SHOULD BE GUARANTEED THE SAME RIGHTS AS MEN AND USED "THE FIRST WOMENS'S RIGHTS" CONVENTIONS TO VOICE HER HOPES FOR THE FUTURE.\nStanton, Jefferson, and Pennington are famous for being brave, strong and courageous. \n\nMAY HELP, MAY NOT!\nGOOD LUCK

Andrew Jackson and Bill Clinton. \nUnlike the constitutions of most states, the United States Constitution does not actually require the United States Congress to pass a "balanced" budget, one in which the projected income to the government through taxes, fees, fines, and other revenues equals the amount proposed to be spent. This has led to "deficit spending" and the creation of a national debt. Except for a short period during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, since its inception the United States Government has always been in debt. At one time, President Bill Clinton mananged to create a balanced budget for the national government.\nUnlike the constitutions of most states, the United States Constitution does not actually require the United States Congress to pass a "balanced" budget, one in which the projected income to the government through taxes, fees, fines, and other revenues equals the amount proposed to be spent.

But a Bill is a Bill, There is no gray area in that. Samuel Adams addressed this in a speach during his Presidency, but the act and later bill sponsored was all but forgotten untill 1983 when it was passed and made Law.

When Andrew Jackson ran for president in 1828, his opponents tried to label him a "jackass" for his populist views and his slogan, "Let the people rule." Jackson, however, picked up on their name calling and turned it to his own advantage by using the donkey on his campaign posters. During his presidency, the donkey was used to represent Jackson's stubbornness when he vetoed re-chartering the National Bank.\n\nThe first time the donkey was used in a political cartoon to represent the Democratic party, it was again in conjunction with Jackson. Although in 1837 Jackson was retired, he still thought of himself as the Party's leader and was shown trying to get the donkey to go where he wanted it to go. The cartoon was titled "A Modern Baalim and his Ass."\n\nInterestingly enough, the person credited with getting the donkey widely accepted as the Democratic party's symbol probably had no knowledge of the prior associations. Thomas Nast, a famous political cartoonist, came to the United States with his parents in 1840 when he was six. He first used the donkey in an 1870 Harper's Weekly cartoon to represent the "Copperhead Press" kicking a dead lion, symbolizing Lincoln's Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, who had recently died. Nast intended the donkey to represent an anti-war faction with whom he disagreed, but the symbol caught the public's fancy and the cartoonist continued using it to indicate some Democratic editors and newspapers.\n\nLater, Nast used the donkey to portray what he called "Caesarism" showing the alleged Democratic uneasiness over a possible third term for Ulysses S. Grant. In conjunction with this issue, Nast helped associate the elephant with the Republican party. Although the elephant had been connected with the Republican party in cartoons that appeared in 1860 and 1872, it was Nast's cartoon in 1874 published by Harper's Weekly that made the pachyderm stick as the Republican's symbol. A cartoon titled "The Third Term Panic," showed animals representing various issues running away from a donkey wearing a lion's skin tagged "Caesarism." The elephant labeled "The Republican Vote," was about to run into a pit containing inflation, chaos, repudiation, etc.\n\nBy 1880 the donkey was well established as a mascot for the Democratic party. A cartoon about the Garfield-Hancock campaign in the New York Daily Graphic showed the Democratic candidate mounted on a donkey, leading a procession of crusaders.\n\nOver the years, the donkey and the elephant have become the accepted symbols of the Democratic and Republican parties. Although the Democrats have never officially adopted the donkey as a party symbol, they have used various donkey designs on publications over the years. The Republicans have actually adopted the elephant as their official symbol and use their design widely.\n\nThe Democrats think of the elephant as bungling, stupid, pompous and conservative -- but the Republicans think it is dignified, strong and intelligent. On the other hand, the Republicans regard the donkey as stubborn, silly and ridiculous -- but the Democrats claim it is humble, homely, smart, courageous and loveable.
