George Washington wouldn't have liked Jackson for the simple reason Jackson was a glory hound.Jefferson didn't like him ether since it was Jefferson that said

I feel much alarmed at the prospect of seeing General Jackson President. He is one of the most unfit men I know of for such a place. He has had very little respect for laws or constitutions, and is, in fact, an able military chief. His passions are terrible. When I was President of the Senate he was a Senator; and he could never speak on account of the rashness of his feelings. I have seen him attempt it repeatedly, and as often choke with rage. His passions are no doubt cooler now; he has been much tried since I knew him, but he is a dangerous man."

none of them really would have liked Jackson since it was Jackson that that didn't listen to congress or the supreme court about relocating the Cherokees and they would have never backed a present that threatened to send troops if SC tried to tp leave the frist time

He had similarities to Washington. Supported slavery, southerner, general, ect. Jefferson might have thought he was too similar to Hamilton. But I think he would have liked him.

I believe Andrew Jackson opposed a national bank. Though, I'm not sure about that. I can't imagine that he and Hamilton would have gotten along. And there is NO WAY John Adams would have supported him.
