highlights from thursday's DBQ

  • Andrew Jackson was under-educated, openly racist, and he loved to stir discourse and pugnacity
  • Not satisfied to leave the nation in capable hands, Jackson exercised every power he was legally able to as president—and then some
  •  a reputation Jackson attempted to keep, inhibited mostly by his lack of proper intelligence
  • This election turned out a large quantity of voters, which was not necessarily a good thing, since the voters were more interested in socialization and alcohol than politicking
  • Jackson’s administration condoned violence as a part of such vital institutions as voting, which is wholly inappropriate
  • Jackson continued to demonstrate a disregard for the good of the public by putting together the “kitchen cabinet” 
  • It is doubtful that Andrew Jackson ever read the Constitution
  • A man full of delicious contradictions
  • Andrew Jackson was not a man of great reason
  • the administration was too inconsistent and disorganized (and Jackson too temperamental) to keep any of its promises
i like andrew jackson and he seems like a cool dude

he has that hair
