How Is Andrew Jackson Bad

During Andrew Jackson’s time in office, he did a neutral job as president. He had his ups and downs, including how he handled Native Americans and the national bank. Overall, I think Andrew Jackson’s presidency wasn’t that bad nor that good due to how he handled some issues. Andrew Jackson wasn’t that bad a person as people may think, he was even nicknamed, “a man of the people”. He had gotten this nickname for letting the people be heard, Andrew Jackson grew up like a “normal” person.

Overall, not looking at the bad things he did, I would say he did what he was supposed to do as president, especially when it came to listening to the
