THE
JACKSON
AGE
(1829-1837)
What
do
you
know
about
the
Jackson
Age?
Andrew
Jackson
was
an
influential
leader
in
the
19th
century,
known
for
many
reforms
to
the
American
government
and
society
during
his
presidency.
President
Jackson
is
credited
for
the
founding
of
the
Democratic
Party
and
also
for
his
strong
stance
on
nationalism.
Jackson
is
also
known
for
intensifying
sectionalism.
The
Protective
Tariff
and
the
Nullification
Act
are
two
examples
of
Jackson’s
economic
policies,
policies
from
which
he
did
not
often
waver.
Another
policy
Jackson
became
famous
for
is
the
“spoils
system,”
which
allowed
for
awarding
his
supporters
positions
in
government.
Although
many
opposed
this,
it
continued
to
exist
beyond
his
term
in
office.
Jackson
was
also
an
opponent
of
the
National
Bank
and
the
use
of
paper
money.
His
Specie
Circular
created
an
economic
depression
that
took
years
to
recover
from.
Another
aspect
of
the
Jackson
Age
was
the
removal
of
Native
Americans
from
their
land.
The
Indian
Removal
Act
of
1830
promoted
the
removal,
and
Jackson
is
known
for
his
part
in
the
Trail
of
Tears,
a
devastating
removal
of
the
Cherokee
Indians.
