I find it ironic that the Democrats honor this slave owner with their annual fundraiser, The Jefferson (another slave owner)-Jackson dinner.
My problem with Jackson is what he did to the Cherokee Indians. They owned farm land and he simply took it away from them and forced marched them Oklahoma, many died along the way.

I’m not too great with history: but wasn’t that known as the Trail of Tears?
Absolutely, my wife is Cherokee and this caucasian gets the message about Jackson on a regular basis! Go see “Unto These Hills” at Cherokee, NC sometime. Makes it pretty clear how Jackson repaid the Cherokees for their earlier help.
Her ancestors were able to avoid the hideous march by hiding in the mountains of eastern Kentucky.
