    Jackson wins BIG.. the


    Common Man could vote
    because they got rid of the
    land ownership requirement
    BIG DIF: All MEN could
    now vote

    The Growth Of Democracy


    Jacksons victory
    was due to the fact
    that white males,
    21 or older, who
    did not own
    property, could
    now vote.

    Voting Rights (5:11)

    This allowed for the


    extension of
    democracy to more
    people.

    after Jacksons Inauguration

    Washington and
    his Cabinet

    s Spoils System Expands Democracy


    Spoils - benefits
    gained by the
    winner, Jackson
    viewed this as a way
    to involve the
    Common Man in
    governing the
    United States.

    SPOILS SYSTEM
    Jackson gave jobs to
    Unqualified Common
    Men (his political
    supporters)

    They were known as a rough


    group. The Common Man
    debates.

    Jacksons Legacy
    How did the election of Andrew
    Jackson in 1828 expand democracy in
    the United States?

    What is the major difference


    between voting requirements in
    the Federalist Era and the
    Jacksonian Era?

    The Bank of the United States

    The Bank of the U.S.


    was part of
    Federalist Alexander
    Hamiltons Financial
    Plan.
    The Banks purpose
    was to regulate
    Americas economy.

    Jackson thought the Bank was too powerful.


    Jackson thought Bank president Nicholas
    Biddle and Bank administrators used the
    Bank for their own profit, at the expense of
    the Common Man.

    The Bank cut back on


    loans which hurt farmers,
    the Common Man, in the
    West.
    Because of this Jackson
    vowed, I will kill it!
    He vetoed the Banks
    charter when it was up for
    renewal.

    Jackson thought the Bank


    was too powerful and
    corrupt. Bank took
    advantage of the
    Common Man

    Jackson killed the bank


    by vetoing the Charter

    Nullification Crisis and the Tariff Laws (5:54)

    Congress passed the Tariff


    Bill of 1828 which was the
    highest import tax ever.

    This was a protective


    tariff, a tax on imports
    aimed at protecting
    Northern industry. This
    increased tariffs on goods
    from Europe.

    This protective tariff hurt


    Southern planters because
    they depended on trade
    with Europe.

    The high tariff meant


    Southerners still sold their
    cotton to Europe, but paid
    more for European imports.

    TARIFF of
    ABOMINATIONS
    Tax that hurt the South
    and the Common Man
    South Carolina said they
    wont pay

    Southerners called the


    Tariff of 1828 the Tariff of
    Abominations. An
    abomination is something
    hated.
    Vice President John C.
    Calhoun was from South
    Carolina and, like most
    Southerners, believed in
    the idea of States
    Rights.

    States Rights is the


    belief that states have
    right to limit the power of
    the federal government.

    Nullify means

    South Carolina passed


    the Nullification Act and
    declared the tariff illegal.
    cancel.

    South Carolina threatened


    to secede if the tariff was
    not lifted.

    Secede means withdraw.


    What are Jacksons
    options?

    NULLIFICATION
    CRISIS
    Vice Prez John Calhoun and
    South Carolina nullified it
    claiming States Rights. Said
    they would Secede from the
    Union if forced to pay

    Henry Clay
    designed a
    compromise that
    lowered the tariff
    but gave the
    president more
    power to use
    force if a state
    threatened to
    secede. Predict
    any future
    implications of
    this force
    measure.

    The Trail of Tears

    Trail of Tears

    In a desire to attract
    more settlers, Georgia
    began moving Native
    Americans west and
    offering their lands for
    sale. Some Americans
    objected to this practice.
    However, Jackson
    believed he did not have
    the power as president to
    interfere with Georgias
    rights and stop the
    removal.

    One Way

    Jackson pushed the Indian Removal Act


    through Congress. This act gave the
    president the power to move Native
    Americans west of the Mississippi River.

    INDIAN REMOVAL ACT


    Jackson got it passed to
    clear land for white settlers
    and move Indians west of
    the Mississippi River to
    sparsely populated areas in
    Indian Territory

    But the Cherokee nation


    refused to move and took
    their case to the U.S.
    Supreme Court. In
    Worcester v. Georgia, the
    Court ruled in favor of the
    Cherokees.

    However, President
    Jackson refused to
    enforce the Courts
    ruling.
    What might happen
    today if a President
    refused to enforce
    a Supreme Court
    verdict?

    Worchester v Georgia
    Supreme Court ruled
    that the Indian Removal
    Act was
    unconstitutional.
    Jackson said Try to
    stop me

    Many Native Americans,


    mostly Cherokee, were
    forced to move west of the
    Mississippi River, to
    present day Oklahoma.

    Besides losing their


    homeland, approximately
    4,000 Cherokee died along
    the way.

    This forced removal


    became know as the Trail
    of Tears.

    Some groups, such as the


    Seminoles of Florida,
    resisted.

    TRAIL OF TEARS
    was the nickname given
    to the Indian Removal
    Act because thousands
    of Indians died on the
    way to Indian Territory
