In class, our topic was Andrew Jackson. We learned many things about him, some good, and some bad. Specifically, our group had to talk about the bank war. We had two primary sources. One was Andrew Jackson's Bank Veto Message. In this, he explains He explains that most of the power of the bank is in the hands of few people, and those are the upper class people. He does not like this, and that is why he vetoed it. The other primary source was Daniel Webster's reply to Jackson's veto message. Webster explains that he is doing this out of fear and that he is not a very good leader. I think Andrew Jackson's legacy as the people's president is deserved because he did more good things for the country than bad, and good results came of that.
