...Who really was Andrew Jackson? Most people know that he was a United States president and a war commander. However, he was much more than that. He was just a normal civilian and he didn't come from money or power . He and his brothers were in poverty when they were children. He changed from when he was a kid to an adult. He was the owner of a lot of slaves. Jackson made inadequate choices during his presidency. In my opinion, Andrew Jackson was a far bigger villain than a hero. Andrew Jackson did many things that made him a villain. One of these things is that he was a major slave owner. A hero would not be someone who makes other people be their slaves. Also, owning slaves was Jackson's first major source of wealth. Using other people...

...“No need to think that the world can be ruled without blood. The civil sword shall and must be red and bloody” (Andrew Jackson). Andrew Jackson was one of the most controversial presidents in US history; he had done many good and bad things that made him both a hero and a villain. But we are faced with another imperative question- does he deserve to be on the $20 bill? While he has a good list of accomplishments, the villainous things he had done overpower them, and in the end he should not have replaced Grover Cleveland on the 20 because he had bad character, forced Native Americans out of their territory, and gave special treatment to his supporters. To begin, Andrew Jackson had bad character. “‘I would have hit him,’ replied Jackson, ‘if...

...In my point of view I think that Jackson was a good president. Also, rather than being a villain I thought that he was a hero Jackson wasn’t born with privileges. He was extremely poor. But, he grew up with more advantages than his two older brothers. His mother, Elizabeth Jackson, struggled to send him to better schools than the common backcountry schools. Andrew was a mischievous kid growing up. He was hot-tempered, and found delight in frightening and bullying other children. Andrew Jackson didn’t have as well of an education as the other boys, but he remained uniformed for most of his life. He refused to take his studies seriously, even though he was bright and can read at an early age; he chose to be wild and reckless freedom of fighting any playing....

...Howard Zinn’s unique perspective on American history and the beloved American hero makes for an interesting novel. His book, A People's History of the United States, paints history in a whole new light. While most teachers tell the story of the iconic Andrew Jackson and his role models, like Burren, being right in their actions, the other side is rarely looked at, as most believe their good outweighs the bad. Zinn believes that Jackson and Burren were American villains that tainted our history. He speaks of this in the seventh chapter of his book, which is also a Jackson quote, “As Long as a Grass Grows or Water Runs.” He uses other like-minded historians and historical events to support his claims. These claims are that the Indian was an obstacle...

...narrative of two widely known men in history. The two men were President Andrew Jackson and Cherokee chief John Ross. Inskeep begins his tale in 1814 during the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. During this time, Jackson was already known from his involvement in politics and his victory in a battle during the War of 1812. The second man throughout this narrative story is John ross. John ross a mixed-race Cherokee politician and diplomat who represented one of the Five Civilized Tribes in a court case over land. This case ended up going all the way to the supreme court. At stake in this court case was the land of the Five Civilized Tribes, who had adopted the ways of white settlers such as cultivating farms and sending children to school, in order to please and try to blend in with others. The case starts with Jackson acquiring land as a general and most of this land was known as the Cherokee Nation. They had lived on this land for many years and saw things differently than Andrew did when it came to...

The depravity that Andrew Jackson and others sunk too, makes me un-proud to call myself an American and would never feel honor to call him a father of my country. From 1814 to 1824 Andrew Jackson as a military leader was instrumental in 9 of 11 treaties ceding native lands from the east for lands in the west, to U.S. This period is known as the voluntary migration. 1830 The Indian Removal Act passed both houses of congress and Jackson signed.

...This tedious journey was called the Trail of Tears because of its calamitous results of hunger, fatigue, and disease. The Indian Removal Act was passed through Congress on May 28th, 1830. The act forced the Cherokee to migrate towards current day Oklahoma. Out of the 16,000 Cherokees that were forced on the trail (the Trail of Tears), 4,000 died. One fourth of the tribe perished and it was all for the selfishness of the Europeans and others that “needed” the land. President Andrew Jackson was fine with all of this, in fact, he used the removal act to his advantage. He kept pushing them westward more and more for the benefit of other settlers. The selfishness was literally deadly. There is an anonymous quote that reads: “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.” This quote is proven through the fallen ones on the trail and the bodies that lost their hope and souls along the way. As the quote in the first sentence says, these lives will not be...

...Narrative A narrative is a sequence of events that a narrator tells in story form. A narrator is a storyteller of any kind, whether the authorial voice in a novel or a friend telling you about last night’s party. Point of View The point of view is the perspective that a narrative takes toward the events it describes. First-person narration: A narrative in which the narrator tells the story from his/her own point of view and refers to him/herself as “I.” The narrator may be an active participant in the story or just an observer. When the point of view represented is specifically the author’s, and not a fictional narrator’s, the story is autobiographical and may be nonfictional (see Common Literary Forms and Genres below). Third-person narration: The narrator remains outside the story and describes the characters in the story using proper names and the third-person pronouns “he,” “she,” “it,” and “they.” • Omniscient narration: The narrator knows all of the actions, feelings, and motivations of all of the characters. For example, the narrator of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina seems to know everything about all the characters and events in the story. • Limited omniscient narration: The narrator knows the actions, feelings, and motivations of only one or a handful of characters. For example, the narrator of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has full knowledge of only Alice. • Free indirect discourse: The narrator conveys a character’s inner thoughts...
