der but how our brave boys did fight, as long
as the powder held out. They cut down whole ranks of the British army
as they advanced up the shore.

JACKSON: Well folks, I think we better go to bed. We have a hard
journey ahead of us. I will keep watch.

(Jackson leans up against tree, smoking corncob pipe).

(Suddenly the sound of an owl is heard in the distance).

JACKSON speaks to the man with him: "A little too natural that owl.
I fear it is Indians. We must arouse the people and go."

(Goes and arouses people who get ready to leave.)

_End of Act II._

ACT III.

INTRODUCTION:

Jackson was successful as a lawyer; was made district attorney and was
finally elected to Congress. Later became a frontier judge and a man
of business. He won fame as a fighter in the war of 1812, and in many
fights with the Indians and won the name of "Old Hickory."

The next act will be calling for volunteers to fight at New Orleans.

JACKSON'S SPEECH: The British are again our enemies. They are
capturing our men on the high seas and forcing them to fight for
Great Britain. Shall we stand this? No, I say no. Perry and other
great sailors are fighting hard with our vessels. The British, if
we are not careful, will capture New Orleans. Who volunteers to go
with me? On to New Orleans and Victory!!

_End of Act III._

ACT IV

INTRODUCTION:

After the Battle of New Orleans Jackson was a great hero. In 1828 he
was elected President of the United States. He had bitter quarrels
with Clay, Calhoun and Webster over the U. S. Banks. In the Senate was
another great man, Thomas H. Benton. He and Jackson had once fought a
duel but were now good friends. Benton took Jackson's part against the
other men. Refusal of South Carolina to pay the tariff caused trouble
during Jackson's time. This act was called nullification.

The next act will be President Jackson talking to General Scott about
South Carolina.

ACT IV

JACKSON: South Carolina must be forced to obey the laws of the land.
The tariff will be collected by force if necessary. To nullify an Act
of Congress would be most dangerous to the Union. Take soldiers and
war vessels, General Scott, to Charleston and enforce the law at all
hazards.

GENERAL SCOTT: I will do my best to enforce the laws of the land,
President Jackson.
