Everyone knows Andrew loved to duel

Not many people know he owed a parrot that he trained to be so foul mouthed that they had to remove it from his funeral cause to wouldn't stop shouting obscenities

[BiassedYT]

Another fun fact: Martin Van Buren is the only president who’s first language wasn’t English. His first language was Dutch.

Fun Fact- President Andrew Jackson carried 2 bullets from 2 different duels in his body till the day he died.

[nonnayerbusiness]

John Tyler was right to send those letters back. By calling him acting president, they were trying to diminish his authority.

[koromaru]

Fun fact, andrew jackson also beat someone with a cane for attempting to kill him 😂

[youaveragesidequest]

during a speech, andrew jackson pulled out a bullet (which was from one of his duels) without anesthesia and gave the bullet to one of his duelers and said, "I believe this is yours"

In highschool we had to give a 10 minute presentation on a president. I got given William Henry Harrison. Most of the presentation was his early life. It ended with "he then became president and died shortly after"

[jasonpark]

Andrew Jackson dying with that 100 K/D ratio is wild💀

[IdrisPiper]

The girls face when that president died from pneumonia💀

[smokeyjrr]

John Tyler, who was the 10th president, has a 94 year old living grandson

That illustration of Polk at the end is really quite beautiful

[NCTzen_yuta]

Andrew Jackson often got into duels because of his wife. Anyone who bad mouthed his wife was done for-
William Harrison died because of contaminated drinking water, that's also how Zachary Taylor (the 12th president) died

[robert]

Fun fact: Andrew Johnson once was dueling for the hand of his girlfriend. She was the one he was dueling with…. He won

[Old_Hickory_Jackson]

Out of all facts you chose the duel one for Jackson. How about that one time he didn't let go of his wife when she died in hopes she would wake up and he had to be physically pulled away from her

[Nickeltony]

Damn James k polk is a man of his word. He said he would do one term and he did so even knowing it would kill him.

[martinxy]

*has a minor disagreement with someone*

Andrew: *takes a shot of whiskey and drops a gun at the table* aight bitch, you and me outside now, we ending this

[junetime_panic]

Turns out that Harrison's death was more likely due to public sewage safety not being up to code

[frostnova]

Martin Van Buren was also the only president to not speak English as a first language, he spoke Dutch.

[GonnaDieNever]

Polk literally comes in, wins a war, doubles the size of the country, doesn't run for re-election and promptly dies.

[usball]

English was Van Buren's second language
