1. They loved him, except for a lot of South Carolina because of Calhoun. He was the president of the "common man" which were white males without much property. He was more interested in the interests of the people than the states.He was a tough war hero due to the battle of New Orleans in the war of 1812, many people adored that fact. Since land requirements were not required to vote during his presidency, many of the "common men" (which were a larger support base but not rich or powerful) supported him because of his views on free trade, being against high tariffs, against the national bank, and being against high land prices so many frontiersmen liked him as well.
2. The Southerns like the Indian Removal Act. Even though the Marshall Court established that the Federal and state governments couldn't force the Native Americans out of their territory, they did it anyway. Jackson was a racist, so Indians didn't count as the "common man". Many Southerners saw it that way too. They saw it as clearing up more land for themselves. They didn't really care what happened to the Indians, just that they were moved away. This was way more popular with frontiersmen
