Please help me Defend It
For all his popularity, Andrew Jackson was a controversial President. In the voice of Jackson himself, defend each of the attacks on his record.
1. Andrew Jackson dishonored the presidency by holding a raucous inaugural celebration inside the White House.

2. Jackson is awarding federal jobs to friends and political cronies. This "spoils system" will fill our government with unskilled people.

3. In threatening to send the Army to South Carolina to enforce a tariff, Jackson is behaving like a tyrant.

4. Jackson has signed the Indian Removal Act, paving the way for a brutal, forced removal of entire groups of people.
