Topic: Anti Jackson Party


  
  Jackson, Andrew. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Jackson, on the other hand, took the part of Georgia in its insistence on states’ rights and the privilege of ousting the Cherokee; he refused to aid in enforcing the Supreme Court’s decision against Georgia, and the tribe was removed.
Jackson was a firm believer in a specie basis for currency, and the Specie Circular in 1836, which stipulated that all public lands must be paid for in specie, broke the speculation boom in Western lands, cast suspicion on many of the bank notes in circulation, and hastened the Panic of 1837.
Jackson had appeal for the farmer, for the artisan, and for the small-business ower; he was viewed with suspicion and fear by people of established position, who considered him a dangerous upstart.
