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.

Which ancient civilization is associated with the Twelve Tables, an extensive road system, and the poets Horace and Virgil?
Aloiza [94]
Roman civilization is associated with the Twelve Tables, an extensive road system, and the poets Horace and Virgil. The twelve tables was actually created in order to make a universal law for consistency. These tables were actually created to protect a certain category of people like the plebeians and patricians. These laws actually were made to protect the poor plebeians from whom many rich people wanted to take away all the money. The road system of the Roman Empire was also very extensively created for use of the Romans.

Why did the garment workers' union grow after the triangle shirtwaist factory fire?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

The garment workers union grew after triangle shirtwaist factory fire because consumers forced businesses by way of boycotting non union foods. For example, APEX.

Triangle shirtwaist factory was found in New York and it was in ninth, tenth, and eleventh floors, which caught fire during evening hours. people could raise alarm but nobody could rescue them.

Many of them got burned and others inhaled carbon dioxide. Immigrants women were the ones who were employed in the factory, where many people lost their lives.

There was a coalition which was formed so as to organize churches, schools, private institutions, and fire houses to donate money to cater for the burials and for the family of the departed ones.
