Regarding the other things that Jackson did, the Indian removal and Bank wars were the other defining actions in his term. However both of them still kept a democratic feel to his term. While he did move the Indians and forced them to leave and move, he set aside land for them to move to, as opposed to not caring about what happened to them and just basically casting them out. With bank wars, while his decision to completely uproot the second bank of the United States may have been a poor decision, he still did it thinking about the American public. His goal was to make a more even playing field with he rich and the poor, and therefore benefit the whole of the American public.

Also, the question we were trying to answer was regarding whether or not Andrew Jackson's term was democratic or not. Below is the video my group put together about the spoils system.
