One thing is certain: Our borders would look very different without Jackson.

You know someone is not ethical if they’re getting rich off of politics. If you’re there to serve, serve.

Love him or hate him, Jackson is undeniably one of the most interesting US presidents.

Although never a president, I’d love to see a people’s profile on my favorite founding father, Thomas Paine.

It may have been a shill. But a president waging war against the banks despite the outcome earns him my respect. Also it seems he truly cared about the American peoples future in lieu of virtue signaling, a rarity these days.

There should be a big Hollywood film on Andrew Jackson a fascinating character

[hatandclogs]

Man got rid of the central bank. Good man.

Isn't it strange how everything changes yet remains the same. Here I am 200 years later having survived on land bubble burst (real estate bubble burst) with people warning of another land bubble about to burst! The technology may change but human weakness (greed, selfishness, and narcissism) remains the same. So do the bitter fruits of such weakness!

They weren't Scottish migrants to Ireland. They were planters and given land stolen by the British government from the native Irish.

My mom's generation were taught, in the 1960s, to see Jackson as one of the greatest presidents, associating him primarily with expanding voting rights. My generation, in the 1980s, were given a much less flattering depiction associating him primarily with The Trail of Tears.

“You have guns and so have we. You have powder and lead, and so have we. You have men and so have we. Your men will fight and so will ours, until the last drop of the Seminole’s blood has moistened the dust of his hunting ground.”

Being from SC I really appreciate the correct pronunciation of our Lancaster!

8 years of terror what are you drunk? he was so popular that he created his own political party and won and if he would have wanted a third term he could have had it.

[ivanr]

Jackson didn’t give in to the rat central bank.
He has my respect and admiration.

[FrankinDallas]

"Prompted the British to withdraw"....lol you mean run away.

[americanuscaesar]

One of my favorite presidents, been waiting for this video for a while! Thanks for the great video!

[scampbell]

Hey from Memphis. I know every day is a school day. That said I learned an enormous amount of knowledge of my fellow Tennessean.

[therecordvault]

Thank you so much for your video! As a lifelong admirer of history, this channel brings to life so many figures that I have briefly heard of in my schooling. Now they are more than a brief name in a book but are presented as shapers of this great country and how we are so fortunate to have had them before us!

[mrobinson]

It's crazy how history repeats itself
