Andrew Jackson : Tyrant or Democrat

Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States of America . Administration of Andrew Jackson seems to be rather controversial issue and a matter for debates . Nevertheless , I think that Andrew Jackson tried to become a President , though , instead , appeared to be tyrant . However , he realized himself that he was more suited for army , not presidency . Once he noticed : I know what I am fit for . I can command a body of men in a rough way but I am not fit to be President . And

Despite Jackson had matured by the beginning of the 19th century , he remained hot-tempered and inpatient . His desire was to command army again because he felt bored with politics and leading farm life . He was the commander of a group in Mississippi . However , Jackson was sent back because the government became anxious about his actions Jackson found new rival in new place . As a result , few men were involved in shooting and Jackson was wounded . Despite doctor 's warnings about amputation , Jackson decided to live with a bullet . Actually , I think that these facts were the main cause of his steel character and ruling . Apparently , Jackson 's past strongly influenced his administration and political behavior and presidency .
