Conclusion Page

All in All I think Andrew Jackson wasn’t an awful President he did a lot of grate things for america but he wasn’t the best person but most presidents wouldn’t be brave enough to do what he did so he may not have been the best president but without him their could be war with the indians I think he was good at what he did.
