Good:

. Allowed the common white male to serve in government

. improved trade with European and south American countries

. earned lots of respect for demanding our right full payment from France

Bad

. closed the national banking system

. He only put his friends in government jobs. This was known as the "spoil system".

. He killed many Native Americans.

. He exercised his power in government by ignoring two branches of government.

. He was a slave owner

. He broke campaign promises

ex/ said supported state gov over fed. government then ended up expanding fed gov

Didn't just kill many Native Americans, he was responsible for the Trail of Tears - thousands of Native Americans died because of him.

. In the first inaugural address of Andrew Jackson he said he would observe the Indian's rights which is a consistent habit of our government and the feelings of our people. Then turns around and forces Indians to move west because he found gold in there territory which at the time was Georgia.

He grew up with lots of anger and did some pretty bad things before he squared himself.

• He got into many fights.

Good= His courage, energy and steadfastness; his impartial justice and utter trustworthiness; that he was calm in the face of danger and dauntless in adversity; that he would sacrifice repose for fame and fame to duty; his thoroughness in deliberation and mastery over his strong passions-these and his other distinguishing characteristics, laudable in themselves, are elevated still further as they are harmonized in the mind and character of Washington. Smart, handsome, military experience, respected, brave, cautious, diplomatic, intellectual, honest, charismatic and a strong leader

Bad= he was not the best of communicators and was a painfully awkward public speaker. And even fewer of us have heard the stories about his legendary hot temper; so much so that one anecdote has a red-faced, screaming Washington stomping on his hat in front of Thomas Jefferson. Another of his qualities, Washington was always said to be a realist when it came to human nature.
