Many people believe Andrew Jackson was a strong president. But some of his opponents saw him as an oppressive tyrant. Consider what you have learned about biases and stereotypes in this lesson. Think also about Jackson’s actions and the events of his presidency. Then take a look at this image of Jackson.

It shows Andrew Jackson wearing a king’s robe and crown. In his right hand, he holds a scepter. In his left hand is a document that says “veto.” He is stepping on torn documents. One is the Constitution of the United States. The others say “Internal Improvements” and “U. S. Bank.”
