Jackson was one of the greatest, and most essential Presidents in United States history. He was a man of his times, and a providential man for his times. Among other things, he ended Spanish and British interest in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Britain wanted N.O. to control the Mississippi River and thence the American heartland. To insure Britain was kept out of the lands West of the Mississippi, he there resettled the “5 Civilized Tribes” from the East as a deterrent. They were a deterrent and formidable force to be reckoned with as evidenced by their actions during the Civil War. Research “Stand Waitie”.
“A man of his times?” There were men of his times who weren’t hyper-partisan, cravenly power-hungry, genocidal, traitorous lunatics.
“To insure Britain was kept out of the lands West of the Mississippi, he there resettled the “5 Civilized Tribes” from the East as a deterrent.” Gosh, maybe the Cherokee would’ve made a better deterrent if so many hadn’t died.
