Champion of the “common man” or a president who stretched his power past its limits? Students rotate through five stations on Jackson’s presidency, gather evidence, and then argue both sides before deciding what they think.


What’s inside

  • 5 stations with background readings: the Election of 1828, the Spoils System, the Bank War, the Nullification Crisis, and Indian Removal

  • Visual sources at the stations: an 1828 election map, political cartoons on the spoils system, the Bank War, and nullification, and a Trail of Tears map with removal data by nation

  • A note-taking template covering the event summary, support, opposition, and how Jackson expanded presidential power

  • Two short writing tasks: one paragraph arguing he was a good president and one arguing he was a bad one

  • An answer key with the completed table and sample paragraphs


Details: 45-60 minutes | Grades 8-12 | PDF, 16 pages
