I believe Andrew Jackson was both, he had to please everyone and he kept changing his mind. The common man facade was taken up in order to please all the common folk and keep their votes. The King Andrew facade was to keep all his enemies at bay and to run this country with authority. He did not want all the wealthy taking over and he did not want his enemies to try to take over. I agree with Andrew the people see him the way they do because of their life and their experiences. Seely is also right when she states that Jackson abused his powers. Jackson did a lot of things in order to help the country but they also harmed us too which goes into agreement with Daniel. I believe he was the common man because he related to the people while also being their leader.

I agree with Simone, not only because she explained her stance but because she elaborated. I never though of looking at it that way because in both cases he was a common man but then he was King Andrew.
I think that Simone has a good point. Jackson could be seen as both the common man and the king because he appealed to all different types of people.
