""All History," the British philosopher Thomas Carlyle once wrote, "is the history of the deeds of great men." Do you agree? Or do you believe that all people (even "great men") are merely the product of the world they live in? (As in another old saying: "The times make the man.") Explain how, in his life and his actions, Andrew Jackson reflected the hopes and fears of his era. In what ways did Jackson, through his own words and deeds, “make history"? Did General Jackson create “Jacksonian America," or was he just the perfect embodiment of it?""
