The real goals of Jacksonian Democrats were not to protect the constitution, but to abolish the Whig party, and to sustain state’s rights in a democracy, rather than a federal government. The Jacksonian Democrats were benefitting from political democracy more than they were guarding it. Andrew Jackson himself was raised in Tennessee, and before his presidency, was a natural war hawk, which is shown through the Battle of New Orleans. His war-like instincts managed to affect his choices throughout his presidency. This was shown by his threats to bring the military into South Carolina after the nullification on his Tariff of Abomination (Document F).
Although Jackson’s involvement in the demise of the Second National Bank is generally noted as a significant event, this book regards it with less consideration. Jackson did not like the bank because of his suspicion of speculators and paper money. This hatred arose from bad experiences he had as a young man. He also believed that the bank threatened individual liberties, and that the money in the bank had been used against him in the election of 1828. Jackson thought that the bank served only the wealthy at the expense of the average citizen.
Delegates could know be elected to create a new revised state constitution and governments also all southerners would be pardoned accept for high ranking confederate army officers and government officials. Private property would be protected however this did not include slaves. While most of the Republicans in congress at that time supported the president's plane for reconstructions others wanted to punish the confederacy. One of the flaws to the plan was that it only took ten percent of the voters to decide if they wanted back into the Union This made voting no longer a democracy. On July 2 1864 two Radical Republicans Benjamin Wade and Henry Winter Davis wrote the Wade Davis Bill.
Eager for land to raise cotton, the settlers pressured the federal government to acquire the Indian Territory. Georgia, in particular, was the main source of the dispute. It was the largest state at the time and was involved in a jurisdictional dispute with the Cherokee nation. President Jackson hoped the removal of Native Americans would resolve the crisis in Georgia. The Indian Removal Act was also very controversial, while Native American removal, in theory, was voluntary.
George Washington believed it to be ungentlemanly to have party conflicts. In the post Washington era there were 2 parties, the federalists and the democratic republicans. By 1828 the parties were dying out and other parties were replacing it. At this time there was the democrat’s vs the national republicans which transformed into the republicans and the Whigs which again transformed into the republicans and the democrats (southern white male). As Mexico was granted independence in 1821, America took over former Mexican land such as the former republic of Texas 1836-1845.
In exchange for a prohibition on export taxes, the South agreed to allow the slave trade to continue for just 20 more years, and for imported slaves to be taxable. As a side note, the very day that the slave trade could constitutionally be prohibited, it was: on January 1, 1808.” Basically it was just a compromise between the north and south that was needed to instate a Constitution. Let’s say that the slave importation had continued for years past that 1808 date. I believe that had it continued longer than the constitutional 20 year agreement that the civil war would not have happened. That state rights would become more important than a strong union.
Clinton's testicle lockbox is big enough for the entire Democrat hierarchy, not just some people in the media." , and then there was Chris Matthews and he said , “The reason she's a U.S. senator, the reason she's a candidate for president, the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around." . Although these are clearly Republican pundits, these remarks made people start thinking more of her as a woman rather that a qualified person for President. My Grandfather, a die hard Democratic, believes that Bill Clinton was the best president we have ever had, but he thought maybe Mr. Clinton came out a little arrogant.
He wanted programs which minimized the differences between the rich and the ones affected by poverty. Under Lyndon Johnson’s presidency, Moynihan did not like the president’s views towards poverty. As the Time magazine suggests, “Moynihan contends that the much ballyhooed effort was oversold, under planned and seriously "flawed" in execution.” It therefore can be understood that Moynihan was involved in all the activities in politics and wanted the good for the poor citizens. His point of view was that the government never really comprehended what community action was all
Many people claimed the programs were socialistic and were worried about having a welfare state funded by the government. Roosevelt's social welfare blueprint created federal deficits The United States had never seen before. One of the most famous oppositions of the New Deal was a Senator from Louisiana by the name of Huey Long. Long criticized Roosevelt for not helping the poor enough. His alternative to the New Deal was called "Share Our Wealth".
Long voiced populist resentments that many depression-era Americans felt toward 'wealthy plutocrats' and 'bloated fortunes.' He promised, through his implausible Share-Our-Wealth Plan, a radical redistribution of wealth: confiscatory taxes would scale down large fortunes, and the revenue would be used to guarantee everyone a minimum annual income of twenty-five hundred dollars. By 1935, he had launched his own national political organization (the Share-Our-Wealth clubs) and was talking openly of running for president the next year against Roosevelt. The crude public opinion polls of the time indicated that he could not win, but that he might tip the balance in a close race. In fact, the 'Long threat,' as Democratic politicians described it, was probably less serious than it appeared.
