Jackson's humanitarian efforts

Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States, is often controversially remembered for his policies, especially regarding Native Americans. However, he also advocated for the common man and championed efforts to expand democracy. Jackson supported public access to education and was influenced by the idea of expanding individual rights. His humanitarian efforts were largely focused on promoting the interests of white American settlers, particularly in the context of westward expansion, which unfortunately often came at the expense of indigenous populations. His legacy remains complex due to this duality in his approach to humanitarian issues.
