Andrew Jackson was one of the most powerful and influential presidents of the nineteenth century. Jackson implemented polices that profoundly affected the territorial, political, and economic development of the united states. He organized the relocation of more than 90,000 indians from the eastern united states to territories west of the Mississippi River. He strengthened the union by rejecting South Carolina's claim that it possessed the authority to nullify federal laws. AND he destroyed the bank of the united states, leaving the nation without a central bank capable of monitoring the nations money supply. He was considered the common mans president. He was also involved in many duels.

The new capital and its imposing buildings would come to define Delhi for the next 100 years. The capital, however, would keep growing beyond the garden city planned by Edwin Lutyens - and continues to grow.
