I should say, AndrewJackson is one of my hero's.

I like him too. He did a lot of impressive things and he had a lot of quotable quotes. I'm sure you like this one.

""John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation, I will secede your head from the rest of your body."

"John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation, I will secede your head from the rest of your body."

Almost certainly apocryphal. But regarding the secession crisis Jackson did say, "But if one drop of blood is shed there in opposition to the laws of the United States, I will hang the first man I can get my hands on to the first tree I can find."
