It wasn't even Jackson who enforced repatriation. It was van Buren.
As for Jackson himself, he's largely a mixed bag. His move against the Bank certainly saved the nation at a time it was most vulnerable to the ploys of New England mercantilists. The bellicosity he found in his second term towards the Slave Power is admirable, but the tact he took in betraying his state's rights principles was not. He spread the franchise and the problems associated with it in equal measure.
