Answer:
Andrew Jackson is more well known for his shortcomings, but he had some remarkable accomplishments in the economy, when he served as president. One of Jackson’s campaigns against John Adams was his stance against federally- funded internal improvements, which Adams favored. One of Jackson’s goals was to eliminate the national debt and he believed that government expenditures would threaten his goal. He went so far as to veto bills passed in the House of Representatives, pertaining to infrastructure and improvements. One bill he vetoed was for a road that would connect the National Road, a major infrastructure project during his presidency, because he believed it was to localized for federal funding. He supported internal improvements, so long as they would not incur more debt at the national level. This led to a increase in state debt for internal improvements, but Jackson ultimately erased all of the national debt, one of his major accomplishments as president.
