The people who proposed the exceptionally high rates of the Tariff of 1828 were

ardent supporters of Andrew Jackson

In their treatment of Native Americans, white Americans did all of the following except

argue that Indians could not be assimilated into the larger society

The two political parties of the Jacksonian era tended to

be socially and geographically diverse

The new two party political system that emerged in the 1830s and 1840s

became an important part of the nation's checks and balances.

The "cement" that held the Whig party together in its formative days was

hatred of Andrew Jackson.

Texas gained its independence with

help from Americans

One of the main reasons Andrew Jackson decided to weaken the Bank of the United States after the 1832 election was

his fear that Nicholas Biddle might try to manipulate the bank to force its recharter

Andrew Jackson made all of the following charges against the Bank of the United States except that

it refused to lend money to politicians

One of the positive aspects of the Bank of the United States was

its promotion of economic expansion by making credit abundant

William Henry Harrison, the Whig party's presidential candidate in 1840, was

tariff policy

Most of the early American settlers in Texas came from

the South and the Southwest

The spoils system under Andrew Jackson resulted in

the appointment of many corrupt and incompetent officials to federal jobs

Andrew Jackson based his veto of the recharter bill for the Bank of the United States on

the fact that he found the bill harmful to the nation.

The section of the United States most hurt by the Tariff of 1828 was

the south

Spanish authorities allowed Moses Austin to settle in Texas because

they believed that Austin and his settlers might be able to civilize the territory.

The purpose behind the spoils system was

to reward political supporters with public office

As president, John Quincy Adams

was one of the least successful presidents in American history

Andrew Jackson's administration supported the removal of Native Americans from the eastern states because

whites wanted the Indians' lands.
