Exploring the Legacy of Andrew Jackson: Hero or Villain?

This project examines Andrew Jackson's complex legacy through various mediums, including a news article detailing the cause and effects of the Native American Removal, a comic strip summarizing key events, and interviews with experts on Cherokee Removal. A nuanced approach is taken, presenting Jackson's controversial actions as both heroic and villainous. Through creative descriptions, engaging interviews, and historically accurate depictions, we aim to present an in-depth analysis of Jackson's impact on American history, emphasizing the significant events during his presidency.
