Who really was Andrew Jackson? Most people know that he was a United States president and a war commander. However, he was much more than that. He was a self-made man that didn't come from money or power. He was a major slave owner. Also, he and his brothers were in poverty when they were younger. He was a lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee. Jackson made inadequate choices during his presidency. In my opinion, Andrew Jackson was a far bigger hero than a villain.<span>

In 1854, the Missouri Compromise was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Three years later the Missouri Compromise was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott decision, which ruled that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories.
I believe that the United States had no imperialistic motives for entering WWII. Because Great Britain, Russia, and Germany all used to be empires at some point in their history, and they might have wanted to become empires again, whereas America had no such wishes.
