It has been argued over time whether or not Andrew Jackson should be considered a king or a common man. In my opinion, he can be closer compared to a king rather than a common man. Unlike an average common man, he was wealthy and owned slaves. He created tariffs, which the South did not respond to well, and he also tried to destroy the National Banks. Jackson removed government's deposits from the bank to weaken it. Some even considered Jackson to be tyrannical. He was also in charge of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. All these examples would make Andrew Jackson more of a king than a common man.
