President Andrew Jackson DBQ

Students analyze 19 documents, answer 19 historical context questions, complete a sorting chart, and write a DBQ essay to review President Jackson's time in office. There are 11 prompts for students to choose from (one allows for the class or teacher to make one of their own). The answers are included where appropriate and the initial analysis part would be great for a sub!  ***Some of the sourcing is generalized so that students have to place it in the historical context/event themselves, and due to the nature of the prompts, this resource has more documents than the others to give students a bit more flexibility.***

Sample questions include:
--Why does Henry Clay describe America in 1833 as being in the midst of a bloodless revolution?
--Does Document 4 reflect positively or negatively on Jackson and why?
--Summarize what Jackson is cautioning against in Document 7, and explain why he refers to it as a “matter of peculiar delicacy.”
--What are the Cherokee protesting against in Document 10?
--Identify the academic topic connected to Document 13.
--Does Biddle support Jackson’s sentiments? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.
