Overcoming Obstacles In Andrew Jackson's Life

Andrew jackson had to face many obstacles in his life. Obstacles like South Carolina's nullification of the tariff, the United States Bank and how they were stealing money from the country, and the struggles of relocating the Native American Indians. But just like every other problem he faced he succeeded in overcoming all of these obstacles. One of Andrew Jackson's problems was the South Carolina and how they did want to pay the tariff. This made Andrew Jackson angry that they refused to pay the tax unlike the rest of the states. As a state of the United States they felt it was there right to disagree about paying the tax and move on their opinions too the congress. Jackson was furious at that so he said “ I will hang the first man I can lay my hand on that engaged in such treasonable conduct, upon the first tree I can reach”. They knew he was serious about the threat and eventually agreed to pay the tariff. Another obstacle he faced was one of his more famous accomplishments, shutting down the National bank of the United States. His argument stated that they had used the money of the bank too gamble. When they won they split the money between themselves and when they lost they charged it too the bank. They told him that if he shuts down the bank that he would destroy ten thousand families, he didn't care. Instead he replied that if he doesn't they will be ruining fifty thousand families and that was much more important to him. Now some say that he had his own personal vendetta against the bank but we don't know for sure if that was true.
