Age of Jackson: Crash Course US History #14

- In which John Green teaches you about the presidency of Andrew Jackson So how did a president with astoundingly bad fiscal policies end up on the $20 bill? That's a question we can't answer, but we can tell you how Jackson got to be president, and how he changed the country when he got the job. Jackson's election was more democratic than any previous presidential election. More people were able to vote, and they picked a doozie. Jackson was a well-known war hero, and he was elected over his longtime political enemy, John Quincy Adams. Once Jackson was in office, he did more to expand executive power than any of the previous occupants of the White House. He used armed troops to collect taxes, refused to enforce legislation and supreme court legislation, and hired and fired his staff based on support in elections. He was also the first president to regularly wield the presidential veto as a political tool. Was he a good president? Watch this video and draw your own conclusions.

It's been a decade and I'm still watching Crash Course videos trying desperately to understand something at the last minute.
I really wish I was being dramatic.
"This problem began, as many do, in Missouri" as a Missouri native I can in fact confirm this statement. Missouri, get a grip.
isn't that where captain kirk is from?
No, he's from Iowa.
lmao xD
Is that why it's called... but a more fancier spellin of.. "Misery?" Lol
Missouri/Misery lol

Andrew Jacksons nickname was also "Jackass" which is what founded the democratic party logo.

Interesting. I wonder why it became an insult?
i've been watching crash course for so long i know john's voice better than my mother's

I like to thank John Green for posting these videos. It has helped distract me from losing my father. I'm 15. We both love history. I just want to say how thankful I am for you John and the entire Crash Course Team....
Why did I decide to take this class.. I want to sleep
Joanah Diala I'm required to be here😡
ikr smh
two years later....
Me too Girl!!! xDDDD
bruh me too god i should have stuck to my Canadian roots
big mood
alright the AP US History AP test is tomorrow i can do this
+HeyItsReagan same #cry
Criii
+HeyItsReagan saaaaaaaaaame
I'm in the same boat haha! We can do this!
I understand that struggle
"Discourse in American campaigns has come a long way"
2016 strikes again.
"Martin Van Buren was worst haired president"
2016 spares no one!
"Martin Van Buren was worst haired president"
Not after the election of 2016.
We talked about that in our Jackson podcast today, we repeat ourselves!
"Martin Van Buren was worst haired president"
What was John thinking?? I refuse to believe that fact! Jackson alone looks like Beetlejuice.
OMG so true
Lol
"I killed the Bank"
-AJ
Said it when asked what accomplishments he was most proud of.
I just have to say, I am taking my history certification test in two days and have been watching these videos for a few weeks now. This guy has helped me in so many ways and (God willing) when I pass, I will no doubt be showing these videos in my class...unless I get a Texas history job. Not too much on that lol
You totally should! My history teacher last year reccomended these for final exams, and every student who watched them did SO much better.
It really bothers me that teachers would use such biased and poorly sourced material in a classroom.
My teacher Mr.LaTurner showed these and it helped even thought it has a liberal bias like all media.
Overlord solvent.
I agree
tyler don't count on passing-if u're using this BS. propaganda
I love John Green. He's always so happy, it puts me in a good mood no matter what.
John Green is everything. He is that sarcastic storytelling history teacher, that deeply intellectual english teacher, that writer who can make people laugh and cry, that straight forward math and science teacher, and just the classic awesome nerd
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I hate online classes
And you know you do too.
I probably shouldn't be as intrigued by Andrew Jackson as I am, considering I'm Native American, but I can't help but be fascinated by this man's legacy!
it’s 1 a.m and i’ve been watching videos about andrew jackson for the past hour... if the short response on my APUSH test isn’t about him, i’m going to cry
cole was it on Andrew Jackson?
cole was it about Andrew?
Karateislife324 rumor has it hes still crying
Anyone else being forced to watch this for online classes?
Yes sir
Yes😔 I just decided to look it up online but I came back to just copy a lil of this to not make it look suspicious
Yessir I have to sum up the video in 3 sentences and I’m already having a mental breakdown
yes sir
Yes. 😓
"The problem started, as so many problems do, in Missouri" is a quote that is extremely relevant for what is going on right now.
My history teacher literally just shows us these videos as the course material and John is basically my teacher. :)
when he put a picture of jackson from hannah montana on screen at 0:20 XD
Lol, "the quality of political discourse has come a long way". 7:01 Just wait until 2016, John from the past.
Hi, im from 2019. Just... Just appreciate what you got going on in '16 man. Trust me.
Hi I’m from 2019 as well and things are going great. Trump is a good president and the media is spoonfeeding poop into the mouths of clueless liberals. Just... just appreciate what you got going on before Hillary runs again.
Silly Goose ur name speaks for urself g😹
2020 kill me
The Floofs if you have evidence on Hillary she will
"The quality of discourse in American political campaigns has come a long way" John, you jinxed it!
When you think about it from a purely American perspective Jackson was great. He expanded American territory and was a successful war hero. His fiscal policies certainly weren't the best but his military and political policies worked. From a moral perspective every expansionist conqueror was a horrible person. Jackson was bad for everyone else but very good for America.
+Goode Boyd However, these people were known to cause atrocities, were they not? Look at what Jackson did to due democratic process when the court ruled in favor of the native americans, he simply disregarded their decision. Do the ends justify the means? Would you be willing to have a select population suffer in order to benefit the elite in the country?
(Sorry if I'm coming on a little strong, I mean no disrespect. But I'm genuinely intrigued)
+Goode Boyd Yeah, people forget this stuff. There seems to be a general rush to get to moral high ground on specific historical scenarios, but then people forget that these sorts of things were the norm for that age. It was ugly times all over.
Correction: Good for white people.
when your test is tomorrow: alright. 2x speed time!
also, Missouri has all the issues except for of course: the Mongols
The test is in almost 24 hrs y'all
-_- don’t remind me🤮
-_- 😔✌️
-_- 12 hours and 22 minutes
help me
two hours and im still trying to study lol
we got this !!! 45 minutes !!
Passed AP World History with a 5 - and watched crash course world history back then!
I hope for a repeat. :) Lovely videos, I was so happy to find these last-minute.
These videos help me so much, my APUSH teacher is horrible, nothing she gives us is her own material, is all taken from outside sources which creates incongruities between notes and test questions.
"the problem started, as so many problems do, in missouri" LMAO TRU
I am Jackson. It's the Age of Me
Daft Punk, two of the greatest founding fathers.
YEEESSSSSS!!!! I was waiting for someone in the comments to say that XD!!!!
I love how when John was going through the Jacksons, Percy Jackson popped up.
Jackson wiped his ass with the Constitution.
Mike D he is the worst president... so far
Jack MacQuaig You probably have no evidence in which he was the worst president but good try buddy.
i mean he makes me feel better about our current president. at least now i know dumpster fires like trump are nothing new in the executive branch.
6998Aj Jackson was a tyrant, but at least he was competent. Trump's a child playing President.
6998Aj I will now exclusively refer to trump as a dumpster fire
Jackson called Adams a murderer, not the other way around. Background: Adams claimed that Jackson's wife was married to two men at the same time, using this as mud to insult Jackson in an action known as mudslinging (insulting political rivals). She had forgotten to sign the last page of her divorce document before she married Jackson. It was all settled, but after Jackson's election, before his inauguration, she died from a heart attack. Jackson claims that the stress fro the election and Adams insults killed her, but she did have a pre-existing heart condition. The end.
KrypticAssault1 wow that’s interesting
THIS WAS MY HOMEWORK TONIGHT so of course I watch it again for the 2nd time!
good luck on the APUSH exam tomorrow guys :'(
Anyone else actually watch these because learning is fun and they don’t have a test tomorrow lmao
We always watch crash course at the beginning of a new unit in my us history class and it's so helpful. It gets everyone Interested and I get to sit in the back of class thinking nobody knows I'm a nerd fighter haha.
Smakve been watching your videos since last year when i was in world history AP and i just love how you depict history, whenever i watch your videos i think that would be such a great thing to write in an essay, I know that your videos are mainly about historical context but i was wondering if you could make a video on writing essays and what would be a good format to use for dbq's and frq's , PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
I wish John Green and my history teacher could have a conversation, it would be the most entertaining thing in the world
i have been watching this for an hour now and i still don't understand ._.
literally me omg
"This problem began, as many do, in Missouri."
…are all of y'all in Missouri okay?-
Thank you! My class watched the good, evil, and the presidency movie when I was absent, and my teacher told me to watch it during my spare time. I took one look at the 2 hour mark, said NOPE, and went to find and easier solution. Luckily I found this :-)
John, my AP US History test is on Wednesday and these videos are currently saving my life...too bad the rest of history isn't up yet
I love watching this instead of doing history homework
When you watch someone talk about the worst-haired president the day after Donald Trump was elected
*cough cough* TOUPE *cough*
Awww did your feewings get hurt?
Amy Gordon-Jannetta It's his real hair
Ironically, a New Whig party would make a lot of sense - folks on both right and left are frustrated by the excessive powers of the presidency.
Andrew Jackson Trump is really trying to tie his campaign with Jackson, he is actually putting up multiple painting of Jackson in the White House.
Thank you. I enjoyed watching, I'm not sure how much this will help me on my upcoming test but it was so much better than reading the textbook. I think I may watch it again.
There's a pretty fluid relationship with time in this episode.
10:21 TF2 Heavy anyone? Hella yea!
+Pranav Sukumaran POOTIS HEAVY SHALL ENFORCE SOVIET LAW!
+Pranav Sukumaran SOVIET LAW WILL BE HAD

LOL
One thing that is a bit misleading is your information about how Andrew Jackson vetoed the Bank's charter. The charter was actually set to run out in 1834, but instead of having it extended in 1834 (Because Jackson would reject it), Nicholas Biddle decided to attempt to have it extended in 1832, just in time for Jackson's reelection. For if Jackson had denied the extension, it would hurt his presidential campaign, therefore forcing Jackson (as Biddle thought) to Reinstate the 2nd National Bank for another term. But Jackson vetoed it, and told the American people that this was to create less of a gap between economic classes (Which pissed a lot of wealthy people off (A big reason that the Whig party was formed)).
Also, Jackson never ran for president in 1836, that is an error. Jackson was initially elected in 1828, and reelected in 1832. Jackson respected Washington and his choice of Two Terms, and decided to aide Martin Van Buren in the election of 1836 against William Harrison.
Very right, except the 2nd bank charter was 1816 to 1836. Jackson would still be president in 36 if re-elected in 32. Almost no one understands this these days.
Not only do I get to study for AP US History Jacksonian era, but I get to nerd out over the orange jersey!
Young John Green has a lot of energy and an engaging boisterous enthusiasm! Love it.
I love the use of Pazuzu for the TERROR part in the mystery document. Such a particular reference.
10:21
I see that cheeky little TF2 reference :)
jerhms what i said
when you see it too and you look through the comments section for others who saw it
what's that sandvich, kill them all, good idea -Heavy(secretly Andrew Jackson towards the natives)
(tf2 theme song plays)
I am heavy weapons guy... and this, this is my weapon
-meet the heavy
yess
Andrew Jackson's relation's with Native American's is also interesting. Jackson and Rachel never had children. But they three adopted children. One was Rachel's nephew, the other two were orphaned Native American children. He also served as the guardian of 8 other children after their father died.
Say what you want about his politics. But damn he had one depressing personal life. He lost his entire family before the age of 14. He was also a bad ass. He got into a duel with Charles Dickinson (Not the writer) after he wrote a paper that attacked his wife. He let Dickinson shoot first. He got his inches away from his heart. He then shot Dickinson fatally. So yeah, Fucking badass.
PoliticalPrattle hell yassss
oh yes, and then he massacred hundreds of Creeks
He is literally an action hero
@@maggiep6387 Wait, creeks?
oh so he massacred natives and also kidnapped the children? yeah that makes it all better...
Thank you John Green for being super awesome. These videos totally rule and your history teacher seems pretty swell. Now since I have only made it to Jackson it's time to read 350 flashcards in the remaining hours of the night.
If you take the time to notate this carefully, you will be amazed how information packed and comprehensive this
video is
I've been watching these and reading the comments since I was a wee middle schooler and waiting until I would watch these videos for APUSH and I've finally made it. I'm proud of this. and also stressed. very stressed.
...You glossed over that the Native American land was recognized as countries by the US and that Jackson declared war and began to forcefully remove them without the approval of Congress. And that once he was told he couldn't do that he basically said "too bad, I have guns and an army and you don't." Yet another great thing to come out of Florida
Yeah, wasn't Florida originally "the Native Country", until he kicked them out
Percy Jackson!❤️❤️❤️Who else saw him comment !
Thanks so much. got a perfect score on my US Hist mid term, and i watched a bunch of these videos in preparation.
Watching these videos helps me understand apush so much more. Ty John Green.
These are reaaally helpful in studying for the APUSH exam on wedsnesday, i only hope you knew when this was so you could crank out more episodes :)
It was interesting to learn more about Andrew Jackson; before this video, all I really knew about him was that he was a veteran, a president, and responsible in some way for the Trail of Tears. I still don't think highly of him (I don't think highly of people who march people to their deaths), but at least I know more about him.
Go learn more about Andrew Jackson. This video is a poor source and slanted info.
"John Quincy Adams, The worst haired president"
oh, 2013, how I yearn for you
As a Missourian, I would like to mention cool things start in Missouri too! Sometimes. Maybe never.... Good job Ferguson.
AP U.S history folks wya
gang
The final hours. 😔
hey there. i stumbled upon this channel a couple of days ago and i must say it is amazing! :) i love it. you teach so much important stuff, and do it in an interesting and cool way. i dont know if you have any more subjects planned but if so, a topic that i would love to see a crashcourse on is geography. it is almost embarassing how little i know about where what is on this planet :P and it would be fascinating to learn about weather and ocean- and aircurrents. anyway keep up the great work! :)
This actually really helps if you're looking for AP US review (Chapter 13)
Tubman Tubman Tubman she is up to something
Whose here from online school :(

We're up all night to Get Studying
lucky my friend, up all night to get lucky. ...
+Garrett Repp I know. I was trying to make a joke in the days leading up to the AP U.S. History Exam, when all of us were up at the penultimate hour studying
My pet Socrates Whooosh
Love it when John Green roasts every state
Thank you. Learning US history is amazing
Awesome, entertaining and educational as always Mr. Green.
I love how this guy uses his 21st century moral values to judge what they did in the 18th and 19th centuries.
In reference to what?
I'm pretty universally glad that chattel slavery isn't a thing anymore.
I am glad to, but its rather unfair to judge then with todays standards
Dude, history is all about reviewing the past, and reexamining things. So what if it's unfair, history already happened.
I expect future generations to judge us by their morals, as they should. They'll probably say how we raped the planet of all its resources and wasted most of it on this stupid thing called Capitalism.
Douwi Stewart It wont be as bad as the judgement against us when Communism and socialism is brought up though.
"I love john green's videos. he's pretty cool." said by my 7 yeard old. We use these videos for homeschool.
Thanks for making this. If it's going to help with the big quiz for tomorrow
John Green for President.
The best thing Jackson did was destroying that bank.
Yeah, but what he did after led to a depression. :(
not worse than the Great Depression, which was caused by the Federal Reserve.
guy man
It's hard to support an argument that the Great Depression was caused by the Federal Reserve.
Except Milton Friedman did and the ex-chairman of the Federal Reserve admitted it. www.wnd.com/2008/03/59405/
guy man
Honestly, to claim that the Great Depression was caused by any single thing is quite ridiculous.
Thank you so much I am really behind in my history class due to the pandemic messing up my schedule. I needed this for my assignment.
Didn't Henry Clay convince the House of Represenatives to vote for Adams before Jackson became president?
yes
Georgia Starr Corrupt Bargain
Yes, he was then rewarded by Adams by being named secretary of state. The banks funded both their campaigns.
I like how John Green reluctantly doesn't tell us of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson dislike and hatred of banks. The American people took down the First Bank of the United States and Jackson preceded in taking down the Second Bank of the United States. Much love, Aaron Thompson.
My research only came from wikipedia but i knew about the banking system for quite some time. Anyways, i feel like you doesn't mention for fear and controversiality
How does one reluctantly NOT do something?
Did anyone else see Percy Jackson in the barrage of Jacksons Stan compilated?
+veggiesaurusvlogs I did see Percy Jackson too. lol
+veggiesaurusvlogs yeah at 0:20
That is not Percy Jackson. Those horrible movies do not deserve to be compared to the amazing books!
I'm a History PhD candidate and I still watch these.
He was shot twice by Thomas Hart Benton. Shattered his shoulder, and the bullet that lodged in his arm couldn't be removed. He carried it the rest of his life. Benton went on to be Missouri's first senator. Later on they became political allies and friends. Benton was one of the few who bested Jackson. Yay Benton.
All the old-timey economists were like: “Sir, that’s not a good idea, we won’t have any credit and we NEED CREDIT” And Jackson was like “Shut up, NERDZ!” One of my most favourite historical exchanges. -Jacob
AP test tmr 😤✌🏻
I successfully guessed the mystery document, this is like the highlight of my week.
Did you know that my history teacher is actually using this video for homework, it's a pretty easy homework assignment but I think it's kind of cool that we get to watch it COOL a video for once. #ThanksMrs.Farias .
Why was Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) in the montage for the Jacksons?
Britain didn't invade the Falklands, they defended it. Argentina invaded the Falklands. So the Monroe doctrine wasn't actually violated.
***** But Britain had a claim on the islands that dates back to at least 1774, preceding the Monroe Doctrine by about 5 decades..
It were Argentinian from 1816 to 1830, so they weren't british after all.
Great job!! We watched this in APUSH today :)
love crash course, I like how Andrew Jaskson was holding up a notice paper that was like "Aye"
The problem started, as so many problems do, in Missouri. 😆😆
I love these videos so much! They're really useful for prepping and reviewing for the APUSH exam; however the exam is tomorrow and the series isn't anywhere near complete. For European History, could you please start making the crash course videos earlier so they aree completed before the May AP Exam?
Notice how he didn't mention that Jackson balanced the budget, and why did he keep looking of to the side?
ITS TIME TO PLAY: HOW MANY JACKSONS DO YOU KNOW?
i knew about 4 of those pics
