Andrew Jackson (7th President of the United States)

Andrew Jackson, the 7th U.S. President (1829-1837), was known as a strong and often controversial leader. He championed the common person, expanded presidential power, and implemented policies like Indian Removal, which forced Native American tribes off their lands. Jackson also opposed the National Bank, believing it favored elites over ordinary Americans. His leadership shaped the Democratic Party and reflected a focus on westward expansion, yet his actions and policies have been criticized for their impact on Native Americans and their role in reinforcing slavery and racial inequalities.
