Question

Please use your own words.

As president, Andrew Jackson brought major changes to the United States. He expanded voting rights
for some Americans, changed the U.S. economy by pushing back against the National Bank, and forced
American Indians off their lands.

In your opinion, which change - voting rights, the economy, or Indian removal - still influences
Americans the most today?
Write a short paragraph explaining your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: Indian Removal, more than any other reform undertaken by President Andrew Jackson, has a lasting impact on the majority of Americans today. Despite this, most people don't give it much thought. My city is built on land that was once home to a tribe that was relocated to make space for European newcomers. My neighbors and I would not be able to live here if the original Americans had not been gone. Alternatively, we may live among the tribe who allowed us to purchase the land. Jackson's program of Indian removal created a hazardous precedent for Europeans and their successors to believe that they had the right to take over Native Americans' property because they did not have the same rights as Europeans.

Explanation: Basically, Our land today wouldn't be ours if Andrew Jackson did not approve of the Indian Removal Act. Although I DO NOT SUPPORT HIS ACTIONS IN ANY WAY, this is simply an answer to your question!

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

Jackson's policy against banks was his boldest and most influential policy. This is Jackson's most remembered achievement. This is because he waged a real war with banks that took unfair advantage and strongly harmed farmers and workers who were the main driving force of local economies, which end up strongly influencing the national economy. By limiting the action of banks and promoting better clarity and relationship between these institutions, farmers and workers, Jackson allowed these social classes to have a better economic power that reflected a lot in American society.
