The Indian removal acts were
signed into law by Andrew
Jackson on May 28, 1830.
This act allowed him to
negotiate with Native
Americans in the Southern
United States for their removal
west of the Mississippi.
The Indian removal act was
very popular in the southern
states were people were eager
to gain land.
However, there was opposition
in the North mainly from
Christian missionaries.
oThis led to the removal of
many Indian tribes the most
famous being that of the
Cherokee.
o60,000 of the 13,000
relocated Cherokee died.

Jackson vetoed the 1832
re-charter of the Second
Bank of the United States.
He claimed the bank only
existed to make the rich
richer.
People were then required
to borrow money from
local or state banks.
Jackson withdrew money
from the bank and
invested in construction
and product industries, as
a result, manufacturing
flourished.

In 1836 President Jackson
issued the Specie Circular.
This required those
buying land from the
government to pay in
specie, or gold and silver
coins.
The banks did not have
enough of these to
exchange for the notes.
This caused the Panic of
1837 and pushed the
economy to a depression.

Andrew Jackson was known as “The People’s
President”
He was called this because he opposed the
Electoral College and wanted the people to vote on
everything and not be represented.
Additionally, he earned the nickname King Mob
by inviting the public to attend the White House
Ball after his inauguration.
The White House was so crowded that the staff, in
an attempt to protect it, placed large bowls of
punch in the lawn to draw visitors outside.
TARIFF OF 1828

The Tariff of 1828 was called the
Tariff of abominations by
southerners.
It put a tax on cheap imported
goods.
This was to help promote
industry in the northern United
States by forcing the south to
buy their goods not the British
goods.
This greatly increased economy
in the north as well as our
overall economy.
But the southerners protested
because they had to pay and
the British did not buy as much

1830-1850 was known as the Era of Jacksonian Democracy.
This time was based off the political beliefs of Andrew Jackson
and his supporters who later formed the modern Democratic
party.
They wanted to give the right to vote to all white men as opposed
to just those who owned land.
They sought to expand the power of the President and Executive
Branch while adding to the public’s participation in government.
Jackson wanted to expand our country westward because he
believed it was the white man’s destiny to control the land
between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The Whig (Anti-Jacksonian) party argued that we should build on
what we have, not expand.
