History

Andrew Jackson was never impeached because the House of Representatives never passed a bill of impeachment against him. Nor, as far as I know, did they ever want to. (EDIT: See below.) You may be confusing him with President Andrew Johnson, who was the first President to be impeached. (There have been exactly two, him and Bill Clinton. Richard Nixon might have been, but he resigned before the House could act.) Johnson was in conflict with not only Congress but with members of his own Cabinet. In 1867, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act, which restricted the President from firing his own Cabinet members and other appointed officials without the advice and consent of the Senate. Johnson persisted in trying to dismiss Edwin Stanton, his Secretary of War, and the House passed a bill of impeachment against him as a result. The Senate, however, failed to convict him and remove him from office, by one vote. (To date, no President has been removed from office as a result of impeachment.) EDIT: Andrew Jackson was accused of certain gross Constitutional violations during his time in office, such as destroying the Second Bank of the United States, forceful relocation of Native Americans (as part of which he defied the Supreme Court), and declaring that states do not have the right to nullify Federal laws. While people may have in fact wanted him impeached over these actions, the fact remains that the House of Representatives never passed a bill of impeachment against him.

Explain how the issue of state's rights influenced Texas joint the war. (Civil war)
lbvjy [14]
The Northern and Southern sections of the United States developed along different lines. The South remained a predominantly agrarian economy while the North became more and more industrialized. Different social cultures and political beliefs developed. All of this led to disagreements on issues such as taxes, tariffs and internal improvements as well as states rights versus federal rights.

Slavery

The burning issue that led to the disruption of the union was the debate over the future of slavery. That dispute led to secession, and secession brought about a war in which the Northern and Western states and territories fought to preserve the Union, and the South fought to establish Southern independence as a new confederation of states under its own constitution.

The agrarian South utilized slaves to tend its large plantations and perform other duties. On the eve of the Civil War, some 4 million Africans and their descendants toiled as slave laborers in the South. Slavery was interwoven into the Southern economy even though only a relatively small portion of the population actually owned slaves. Slaves could be rented or traded or sold to pay debts. Ownership of more than a handful of slaves bestowed respect and contributed to social position, and slaves, as the property of individuals and businesses, represented the largest portion of the region’s personal and corporate wealth, as cotton and land prices declined and the price of slaves soared.

The states of the North, meanwhile, one by one had gradually abolished slavery. A steady flow of immigrants, especially from Ireland and Germany during the potato famine of the 1840s and 1850s, insured the North a ready pool of laborers, many of whom could be hired at low wages, diminishing the need to cling to the institution of slavery.
