Indian Removal Act of 1830 The government begins to negotiate
to send the Indian tribes West Trade Eastern lands for Western
lands Give them money food and rifles for one
year It wasn’t much of a negotiation
![Page 28: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Cherokee resist moving
Cherokee Nation v. Georgia John Marshall rules that the Cherokee
are a dependent nation Federal, not state law

Worcester v. Georgia
Georgia passes a law in 1830 Any white person living with
Cherokee without a license will go to jail
Sam Worcester becomes a victim

John Marshall frees Worcester, and determines that the Cherokee are not bound by state law
Jackson doesn’t care
![Page 31: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

There are three big issues Sale of public lands Internal improvements tariffs
![Page 39: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Sale of public land
The government is raising money by selling land out West Northeasterners don’t want the land sold cheap They will lose workers in the factories Westerners want cheap land to settle the areas
![Page 40: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Internal improvements
Northeasterners and Westerners wanted more roads and canals Food and raw materials can go to the
Northeast Manufactured goods can go West
Southerners didn’t want these things Paid for by tariffs
![Page 41: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

The Trouble with Tariffs
Southerners are growing so much cotton that they ship it to England and France
They buy stuff from these countries, but have to pay extra in tariffs
Southern economy depends on foreign trade, but foreign goods cost more
![Page 44: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

This leads to conflict between North and South
![Page 46: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
1828- J.Q. Adams raises tariffs The South goes nuts! They call this tariff the Tariff of Abomination

John C. Calhoun comes up with nullification to combat the tariff
A state can refuse to obey a federal law that it considers unconstitutional
![Page 48: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
This was an OLD argument: states’ rights Some supported a strong federal
government Andrew Jackson Daniel Webster
Some supported the states John C. Calhoun Senator Hayne
![Page 49: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Daniel Webster- a senator from Mass. And one of the greatest speakers of his time

Many feel Jackson has gone too far
Henry Clay called him a tyrant

Jackson won the re-election in 1832, so he takes it as a sign that he was right
Eventually, he stamps out the bank in 1836 He won the battle, but the economy was
a casualty
![Page 62: BY: MR. CONNOLLY. Jackson’s Presidency Seen by many as a turning point First Western President Age of the Common Man- growth of involvement by citizens](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649dab5503460f94a9a960/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Increase in prices and decrease in value
Jackson tries to fight this by making everybody pay in gold or silver

When Jackson leaves, the nation is prospering
It doesn’t last
