Presidents Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson

Do you know anything about the presidency of Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson?If you don’t dont worry, I’m going to tell you a little bit about both of their presidency.I will also be telling you about how both of their presidency was different from one anothers.

Thomas Jefferson was a towering personality who wrote the declaration of American Independence and became the third President of the country. He was the founder of the Democratic Republican Party and even served as the Secretary of State in the cabinet of George Washington.

He was first elected President in 1801 and is known as the President who purchased Louisiana from France. During his second term, he passed a bill that banned the import of slaves into the country. He is till date considered as one of the greatest Presidents served the country.

Jackson was the 7th President of the US and considered as a great democratic President by the historians. He is hailed for his role in protecting liberty and democracy. He is also known for his policies that supported power for individual states though he wanted a strong federal government too. He is the President who was strongly against a central bank and, in fact, ensured that the national bank collapsed by vetoing the renewal of its charter. He is also known for the passage of the Indian Removal Act that resulted in relocation of thousands of natives into a territory now known as Oklahoma.

The Declaration of Independence (1776) was a formal statement announcing that the United States was no longer a part of the British Empire. The Committee of Five established to create it voted to have Jefferson write the document. The Declaration proved to be an inspiration to numerous national declarations throughout the world. The second sentence of the declaration, in which Jefferson first used the famous phrase “All men are created equal”, has become a well-known statement on human rights and has been called “the most potent and consequential words in American history”.In 1777, Jefferson drafted the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom which disestablished the Church of England in Virginia and guaranteed freedom of religion to people of all religious faiths. It was enacted into the state’s law in 1786.Jefferson served as wartime Governor of Virginia (1779 – 1781), U.S. Minister to France (1785 – 1789), first U.S. Secretary of State (1790 – 1793) under President George Washington and U.S. Vice President (1797–1801) under President John Adams.

Andrew Jackson successfully commanded the U.S. forces in the regional conflict known as the Creek War, which was majorly fought between U.S. state militias and the Red Sticks Creek people, a traditionalist faction of Native Americans in the southeast. The Creek War is considered a part of the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain as the Red Sticks were supported by the British. Andrew Jackson’s victory at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814 effectively ended the Creek War.His most famous contribution came at the Battle of New Orleans, fought between January 8 and January 18, 1815. Jackson’s 5,000 soldiers won a decisive victor.Jackson first stood for president in the 1824 presidential election. He received the most popular votes but not a majority. The election was decided by the House of Representatives, which chose John Quincy Adams as presidency over an invading British force of 7,500.

Thomas Jefferson faced in writing the Declaration of Independence is the articulation of freedom. Jefferson had an overwhelming task in front of him as he had to communicate what Colonial freedom looked like.America’s seventh president, serving between 1829 and 1837, Jackson implemented policies that profoundly affected the territorial, political, and economic development of the United States. He organized the relocation of more than 90,000 Indians from the eastern United States to territories west of the Mississippi River.He strengthened the Union by rejecting South Carolina’s claim that it possessed the authority to nullify federal laws. And he destroyed the Bank of the United States, leaving the nation without a central bank capable of monitoring the nation’s money supply.

Thomas Jefferson had more challenges he had to face because he wrote the Declaration of Independence for freedom.He was the seventh president of the United States and he was profoundly affected territorial,political and economic development of the United States.Andrew jackson also had challenges but not that bad as Jeffersons.

I think that Thomas Jefferson was the most successful because he wrote the Declaration of Independence for freedom.he wrote it so that there will not be as many wars and fights there used to be because a lot of people want freedom from the fights/wars so he decided to write a declaration for freedom.
