“Andrew Jackson was an unabashed enemy of American nationalism. “
That is supposed to be a joke, right?
The same General Jackson who defeated the British at New Orleans?
The same President Jackson who threatened to use military force against South Carolina when SC threatened to secede during the Nullification Crisis?
The same Andrew Jackson whose support assured the election of James K Polk, the most expansionist President since Tom Jefferson? Manifest Destiny ring a bell?

Agreed. As he famously said about secessionist John Calhoun, “After eight years as President I have only two regrets: that I have not shot Henry Clay or hanged John C. Calhoun.”
As for the Democrat Party though, it has been a cancer on America since its inception. A party that has used race to stay in power. If any organization in America owes reparations to blacks, its the Democratic Party.
