Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) was a risk-taker president who was very good at drawing crowds and well liked by much of the public.
A polarizing figure, Jackson waged a political battle against the Second Bank of the United States, a private company which operated as virtually a government-sponsored monopoly. He also pushed for the forcible removal of Native Americans, resulting in thousands of deaths. The American electorate handed him a huge victory for his second term.
