Question

How did Andre Jackson abuse his Presidential power?

Answer 1

Hint: Known as the "people's president," Jackson dismantled the Second Bank of the United States, founded the Democratic Party, promoted individual rights, and instituted policies that resulted in the forced relocation of Native Americans.

Complete answer: By 1812 when war broke out between the United States and Britain, Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), born in poverty, had become a prosperous Tennessee lawyer and rising young politician. Jackson became the leader of the new Democratic Party as America's political party structure evolved.
The Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830 and all indigenous tribes living east of the Mississippi River had to be removed west of this river. The Marshall supreme court ruled in favour of the Cherokees in 1832, whose territories had been seized by the state of Georgia after gold had been found on their lands. As executive officer, Jackson declined to comply with this decision as a fervent advocate for Indian removal.
In principle, the notorious Bill of Andrew Jackson allowed for voluntary removal and had protections for Indian rights, but in fact, the removal was involuntary, barbaric and ignored safeguards, and horribly used to confiscate the lands of Plains Indians by greedy crowds and corrupt politicians (Cave2003). Corrupt politicians easily mobilised not only competent military forces, but also greedy colonists to bear muskets and travel east and west to crush, kill, and exterminate whoever stood against the fulfilment of their mandate, be it Indians, Mexicans, French or British, by investing smartly in the fiction of Manifest Destiny.

Note: While in the past he had railed against government corruption, Jackson largely ignored the shady treaties imposed upon the various tribes and government officials' corrupt acts. Two years after Jackson left office with a significant loss of Native American life due to this corruption, insufficient supplies and removal by force, the Indian Removal process was completed.
