Pretty darn good one paragraph synopsis of Jackson.
Jackson’s problem is he was an eighteenth/early nineteenth century man being judged by 21st century metrosexuals.
The Trail of Tears is, to me the biggest blot on his record. But in his defense, he had lots of allies in that endeavor.
and as a side note, he was the only white man to give the Indians not worthless land but land rich in worthless oil.

Without Jackson the U.S. might have lost in 1812. The Battle of New Orleans was decisive.

It was very touch and go and we were a young nation.
