I need these two questions answered for each chapter. Chapter 13,14,15. Here is the link to my book: https://openstax.org/books/us-history/pages/1-introduction Part One What are the 3 most important t

Part one

1. Event - Whigs opposed what they viewed as the tyrannical rule of Andrew Jackson. For this reason, they named themselves after the eighteenth-century British-American Whigs, who stood in opposition to King George. Whigs believed in an active federal government committed to internal improvements, including the establishment of a national bank.

2. Federal law - The Tariff of 1828 had driven Vice President Calhoun to pen his “South Carolina Exposition and Protest,” in which he argued that if a national majority acted against the interest of a regional minority, then individual states could void—or nullify—federal law. Southern plantation owners expected the tariff would be costly for them, because it raised the price of goods they could only import. Southerners also feared the tariff represented an unwelcome expansion of federal power over the states.

3. John Quincy Adams - The action of the president john Quincy Adams of electing a president in a corrupt bargain initiated a wave of movements among the people which later facilitated the freedom fight by use of federal laws.

Part two

1. Andrew Jackson - Andrew Jackson becomes the winner of the electoral votes through the Tariff of abomination. This popular votes influenced a lot the process of removal of Indian through enactment of the Indian removal act. The congress held formed a good basis of courts which up to now play a significant role in the fight for justice.

2. Tariff of abomination - This was one of the events that ensured protection of the northern manufacturer which kept evolving. This has contributed positively since there success pave way for new inventions and development and thus growing markets and development of cities.

3. The tyranny - This is a wave that was unstoppable towards the fight for the democracy. Tocqueville for instance described it in history as “unstoppable”. This movement up to now America enjoys its existences as most of its benefits were equality before the law. Also it is believed up to now that tyranny of the majority overpowers the will of minorities and individuals.

Review Questions

4. Jackson and his reporters resented Speaker Henry Clay's maneuvering in the House of Representatives, which gave Adams the election even though Jackson had won the popular vote. When Adams, after taking office, gave Clay the post of secretary of state, it seemed that Adams was rewarding Clay-- perhaps even fulfilling the terms of a secret bargain.

5. Northern manufacturers were expected to gain from the tariff because it made competing goods from abroad more expensive than those they made. Southern plantation owners expected the tariff would be costly for them, because it raised the price of goods they could only import. Southerners also feared the tariff represented an unwelcome expansion of federal power over the states.

8. Jackson campaigned as a man of the people, intent on sweeping away the corrupt elite by undoing the "corrupt bargain" of Adam's election, making new federal appointments, and elevating officials whose election actually reflected the will of the majority of voters.

9. The Petticoat affair divided those loyal to President Jackson from Washington, DC, insiders. When Washington socialite Peggy O’Neal’s husband committed suicide and O’Neal then married John Eaton, a Tennessee senator with whom she was reportedly unfaithful to her husband, Jackson and those loyal to him defended Peggy Eaton against other Washington, DC, socialites and politicians. Martin Van Buren, in particular, supported the Eatons and became an important figure in Jackson’s “Kitchen Cabinet” of select supporters and advisers.

12. Many people saw the Second Bank of the United States, the "monster bank," as a tool for the privileged few, not for the public good. To Jackson, who saw himself as a spokesman for the common people against a powerful minority elite, it represented the elites' self-serving policies. Fighting to dismantle the bank increased his popularity among many American voters.

13. Whigs opposed what they viewed as the tyrannical rule of Andrew Jackson. For this reason, they named themselves after the eighteenth-century British-American Whigs, who stood in opposition to King George. Whigs believed in an active federal government committed to internal improvements, including the establishment of a national bank.

16. The Trail of Tears was the route of the forced removal of the Cherokee and other Indian tribes from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to what is now Oklahoma. The expulsion was carried out by the U.S. military, and thousands of Indians perished on the way.

18. B

19. Tocqueville came to believe that democracy was an unstoppable force whose major benefit was equality before the law. However, he also described the tyranny of the majority, which overpowers the will of minorities and individuals.

Critical Thinking

20. A stronger white nation with the removal of Indians in American territory. A strong desire of power lay behind these beliefs, and I don't see a strong white movement in America today. He also created stronger banks which I do see today in America though.

21. some good things but overall, I would say the political changes were mostly negative in the early nineteenth century. 1) Andrew Jackson and the 1830 Indian Removal Act (GENOCIDE) 2) JQA's corrupt bargain and spoils system during election and term (corrupt politics) 3)Jackson vetoing the second national bank (lack of compromise and compassion in politics and in executive authority and powers).

22. Defending: It is pretty straight forward as it is not our land to take because the natives were there first. We need to compromise with them.

Supporting removal: need more space for white settlers and farmers, need more land for crops, would benefit economy, natives are taking up too much good/ fertile land, and they are inferior race to whites (not as intelligent or hardworking), this is manifest destiny

23. The portrayal of Native Americans in popular culture has oscillated between the fascination with the noble savage who live in harmony with nature and the stereotype of the uncivilized “bad guys” in the traditional Western genre. Modern popular culture does not continue to wield this kind of power over us. Now a day’s people can see that Natives are not that the history books once made them out to be and they are more like you and me then a lot of people even think.

24. The majority outweighs the minority and individual rights of people. Whatever the majority wants are what they get. If an individual is wronged there is no one to go to if everyone supports the majority.
