Yeah, but he was a magnificent Jerk, though the good things he did do not make up for the bad things he did.

The Indian removal was wrong. It was immoral.

In the annals of historical conquerors, Andrew Jackson was probably far less of one than most. Anyone who objects to his methods is free to remove himself from the territories he pacified and return them to the Indians whence they were forcibly acquired. Every person on earth lives on the lands wrested away by conquerors. Virtue-signaling at the expense of these people is yet another example of the old but apt saying - “talk is cheap”.
