Andrew Jackson was the hero of common man. Throughout history Jackson was always the person to be significant in wars and politics. He was a major general in the War of 1812, and won the only battle for U.S. in New Orleans. Andrew Jackson was elected into the house, and senate. When elected for presidency, he pushed a democracy to care for the common people of society. He helped to steer the young United States into the correct direction that we are in today. He looked out for his country, and did not get "blindsighted" by the Second Bank of the United States. He saw that it was too powerful, and put a quick end to it.

i agree with Ross. Andrew Jackson was the hero of common man. he won numerous victories at major wars like the war of 1812.he was indeed very strict with individuals who he thought were corrupting his democracy.

i agree with moya and ross. I stated he was the hero of the common man too. He made sure all the common men of the US was kept safe from all the corrupted aristocrat. He protected them. He tried to keep the US on the democratic track.

I agree with the previous commenter because Jackson was a ture man of the common people. Even though he was flawed in some of his methods, he was still geniune in what he wanted to do, and he did it with purpose. No matter how bad things may have seemed he still did what he felt was best for the country.

Jackson had qualities that could relate both to a king and a common man. His sincerity in his goals made the common people respect him. I think he could be seen as both.
