Question

PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Many people believe Andrew Jackson was a strong president. But some of his opponents saw him as an oppressive tyrant. Consider what you have learned about biases and stereotypes in this lesson. Think also about Jackson’s actions and the events of his presidency. Then take a look at this image of Jackson.

It shows Andrew Jackson wearing a king’s robe and crown. In his right hand, he holds a scepter. In his left hand is a document that says “veto.” He is stepping on torn documents. One is the Constitution of the United States. The others say “Internal Improvements” and “U.S. Bank.”

What type of person produced this image? From the information you see, can you guess this person’s views, political party, region of the country, and other factors? Do you think the designer had a bias? What elements of the image suggest that to you?

Answer 1

The type of person who produced this image is someone who thinks of Andrew Jackson as a Tyrant. Their thoughts of him are negative, they consider him as someone who has no regard for the Constitution, (doing what he pleases,) & doesn’t want to make improvements that would benefit the American people. Political party: Republican. Region of country, most likely the North, as the South was strong democrats. Yes, the designer had a bias, everything that he/she drew depicts Jackson as a tyrant. The elements this image suggests is as listed above!
