What happened in the elections of 1824 and 1828? Andrew Jackson ran for President in 1824 and 1828. In 1824, he lost to John Quincy Adams. He ran again in 1828 and won the election by far.

What was happening with the Bank of the United States and Supreme Court? Jackson decided that the Bank of the United States needed to go since it was unconstitutional. This was good for the commoners, but bad for the rich. He didn't renew its charter, and it died out. The Supreme Court censured Jackson for abolishing the Bank.
What was the Trail of Tears? Who made the Indians march and what impact did it make? The Trail of Tears was what the Cherokee Indians called the long, hard march to Oklahoma.

What was the Indian Removal Act of 1830? The Indian Removal Act forced thousands of Indians to leave their lands and march to Oklahoma in the middle of winter. Jackson ignored the treaty he signed that said they could stay. The Supreme Court ruled with Jackson and said they needed to leave.
Who were the "Five Civilized Tribes"? 5 tribes- the Creek, Cherokee, Seminoles, Chickasaw, Choctaw- that had adopted many white ways like farming, reading and writing. The Cherokee had their own written language, a newspaper, and a constitution based off of the United States Constitution.
