In what ways did Andrew Jackson support slavery? I know he was a slaveholder, but how did he "openly" campaign for slavery? Like how did he favor...

Andrew
Jackson was himself a wealthy plantation owner and the personal owner of over 100 slaves. The
slavery issue only presented itself during his administration when Congress passed an Enabling
Act to allow Texas to come into the Union as a slave state. This would have upset the balance
between slave and free states established by the Missouri Compromise; and Jackson vetoed the
legislation. Texas did not come into the Union until the last days of John Tyler's
administration. Slavery was the sleeping elephant in the room which no one was willing to
address, including Jackson himself. So, although Jackson was himself a slave owner, he took no
official position on the issue other than in typical Jackson fashion, he had no intention of
seeing the Union dissolved on his watch over this or any other issue.
