Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

PROS:

  • Waged by a legitimate authority - one of the few times war was actually declared using the correct process.

 

CONS:

  • America annexed Hawaii.

  • The US army was not ready to fight in the war. They were understaffed and lacked the skill required to fight.

Assessment you will compare and contrast the views of John Quincy Adams and his rival Andrew Jackson. Write three paragraphs com
SashulF [63]

In the year of 1807, the way that Native Americans elected a president changed. through out previous elections, only the rich men were able to vote which as an outcome whoever promised more wealth was elected for president. When the common man was now able to vote in 1807, the type of candidate to win the election changed. As seen in the election of 1828 the person who was more relatable to the people, won because the common man was able to vote and so they used that opportunity and elected whoever they thought was going to help them. Overall the people preferred Jackson over Adams because Jackson was able to relate to the people better, and because he was a symbol of the American dream.

The upbringing of Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams, were very different. Andrew Jackson’s parents were immigrants form Ireland who were forced to raise him in poverty, but through this Jackson learned very important lessons in hard work. The only schooling that Jackson received, was in a local elementary school and than later reading about law to become a lawyer. On the other hand, John Quincy Adams was born into a wealthy family, and his father was John Adams, a founding father of America. John was taught in many ways from the time he was young, his mom taught his to be fluent in French, Dutch, and Germany and he was able to use those skills in government roles in the economy as a lawyer he fought for what was right

Jackson is know for as being a strong and handsome person and was respected by the role of the common man because he believed in slavery and gained his position from hard work. On the other hand, Adams grew up in a wealthy family and did to have to work as hard as Jackson to get his position. He had better morals and did not back down on his beliefs to get a better position, but the only problem was that the common person could not relate to him which caused him to lose the election because he was unreliable, and big headed due to his wealth even though he was much smarter, and could have made a much better position the Americans wanted a promising ruler.
