 * Document-Based Investigation:**

 In his time, Andrew Jackson was an extremely popular president. The public generally supported his policies and his expansion of power. During the ification crisis, Jackson threatened to send troops to South Carolina if necessary to force it to obey federal law. The song “Jackson and the Nullifiers” became a popular tune in the 1830's. These Southern men declined it, But soon they found they were unarmed, And petitioned to sign it. Sing Yankee doodle doodle doo, Yankee doodle dandy, Now like the snake torpid in a brake [lazy in a marsh], They think Nullification it is handy. Without their trade we are not afraid, But we can live in peace and plenty, But if to arms they sound alarms, They may find it not so handy. Sing Yankee doodle doodle doo, Sing Yankee doodle dandy, For Jackson he is wide awake, He says the Union is so handy. Our country’s cause, our country’s laws, We ever will defend, Sir, And if they do not gain applause, My song was never penned, Sir. So sound the trumpet, beat the drum, Play Yankee doodle dandy, We Jackson boys will quickly come, And be with our rifles handy. || 2.**Analyze** In the song, southern men are depicted as favoring nullification.
