The Unfinished Nation: Legacy of an Autocratic Ruler
Delves into the eventful presidency of Andrew Jackson and his successors. The beginning of the program describes the disillusioned relationship between Jackson and Native Americans in the southern and plains regions--notably Georgia--and the actions taken to push the tribes westward. The program contrasts Jackson’s professed support for Native American tribes with his agreement with the Removal Act, the Supreme Court v. Georgiaverdict, and the Trail of Tears. The profound effects of these events on Native American communities, including the Crees, Choctaws, and the Cherokee Nation, are explored. The election strategies of such political figures as Henry Clay, William Henry Harrison, Martin Van Buren, and John Tyler, paired with a discussion of the shifting face of the National Republican, Democratic-Republican, Jacksonian, and burgeoning Whig parties, illuminate the far-reaching impact of this compelling period in United States history.

I found it interesting how Jackson was born into a bad family and how he had barely any education and was elected because people liked him ans not because of his experience but because of his fame and personality. He was nicknamed old hickory because of his participation in the war of 1812 and th american revolution. I also learned that Jackson put America into a recession because of the banks giving out too much money.
I LEARNED...
- was negotiator for peace w/ Indians
- Georgia breaking Constitution by taking land
- Indians believes the direction of the West is death because of the Sun when they die and their spirit travels close to the Earth
- 1/4 cherokees died.
- John Burnett describe:dragged fromhomes, herded like cattle, walking tired.
- Andrew Jackson Devil imposed to a Cherokee
- Andrew Jackson's veto: denounced bank of us sayits made up of brit aristocrats, trying to control American economy
- manipulate farmers, and everyone else
- whigs-resist power of king a.k.a. andrew jackson
- jackson attack on bank polarized america
- Harrison dies of pnuenomnia
- Tyler raise tariff
- Jackson- populous, democratic, but tyrant, fighter, thought a man of peace, enemies attack on the constitution
- he said he loved Indians but they didnt like his policies.
MAIN IDEAS:
In a nutshell, Jackson was a very contradicting person who said he loved his Indians but the Indians think otherwise based on his policies. He claimed to be a man of peace but his enemies said he attacks the COnstitution. He was populous and a democratic but acted like a tyrant king.
