After hearing Brady state his case about Andrew Jackson, I learned that he was Pro-Slavery. Jackson generally wanted his slaves to be treated well, as they were the source of his wealth. He wanted to treat them with great humanity, feed and clothe them, and work them in moderation. Occasionally, Jackson could be cruel and whip his slaves for running away or being impudent. When talk about abolishing slavery came about, Jackson believed abolishing slaves would put too many people out of work and it be a threat to national unity. He believed abolishing slaves would disrupt the South's hard work and success, but not only that, he also wanted it as a way to further white supremacy. He believed that diving the country would not help and cause war (which it did).
