  5. Patronage The Jacksonians supported patronage the policy of placing supporters in office Jacksonians wanted to reward supporters and punish the opponents.

  6. Opposition to privileged elites Jacksonians preferred the working man over the privileged man. Hard workers were better than those who had everything handed to them.

  7. THE TARIFF OF ABOMINATIONS The tariff of Abominations, the tariff of 1828, was a tax on the British imports. South Carolina was against the tariff, calling it the tariff of abominations.

  8. The Nullification Crisis The crisis evolved from the tariffs of 1828 and 1832. South Carolina reacted angrily and so did Jackson. Violence almost erupted.

  9. The Doctrine of Nullification This doctrine came from a state congressional meeting where the previously stated tariffs were nullified.

  10. THE BANK WAR In the election of 1832 Jackson and Henry Clay fought heavily over the Second Bank of America. The bank quickly became the main political tool in the campaign that followed.

  11. Jackson’s Veto Jackson vetoed the Second Bank of America’s charter shutting down the bank after 20 years. This earned him the name King Andrew I because he overrode both the legislative and judicial branches.

  12. Consequences When the bank finally departed other small banks began the vicious cycle of boom-and-bust economic conditions again. Jackson made the Specie Circular, which resulted in a recession in 1837

  13. JACKSON AND THE FORCED REMOVAL OF AMERICAN SLAVES The Indian Removal Act was a way for the US to remove autonomous Indian nations out of states. The rising tensions between states and Natives were at a breaking point at the time of this Act, which was brought before the Supreme court in Cherokee Nation V. Georgia.

  14. Worcester VS. Georgia 1831 Worcester was one of two missionaries who were arrested on Cherokee land by Georgian law because they did not have Georgi’s permission to be there. The supreme court ruled in favor of Worcester.

  15. Jackson and the Cherokees Jackson was responding to ever increasing political pressure from white settlers wanting the Cherokee land’s. He also wanted to limit the federal power because of his belief in the states.

  16. The trail of tears The Trail of Tears was the name given to the journey the Natives made where many died.

  17. PLANTERS AND SLAVES IN THE ANTEBELLUM SOUTH 1816-1860 Slaves in this time period were worth approximately $1,800 (individually). So most slaves were kept in fields and cheaper labor did more dangerous tasks. Families tended to stay together more, and marriage would be allowed by some landowners.

  18. King cotton Eli Whitney, a Yale graduate, spent some years on a cotton plantation to pay off his debts. While there he invited the cotton gin that made cotton boom and become a major cash crop in the south.

  19. Slave society Some slave owners would allow marriage. The separation rate of families severely dropped due to the lower rate of slave auctions.

  20. THE TRANSPORTATION REVOLUTION The steam engine boomed transportation, boats and trains could be used. Boats were used more than trains because of the smoothness of travel.

  21. New developments first railroad 1828 steam boats 1820-1830s

  27. William Lloyd Garrison Garrison was extremely outspoken on slavery. He wrote the first antislavery newspaper called the Liberator. He started the American Antislavery Society. The society soon splintered because of Garrison’s support of women’s rights.

  28. Frederick Douglas Douglas was one of, if not the, most outspoken african american about abolition. He was also in support of women’s rights and the rights of the Native Americans.
