And I’m sure slavery will be prominently covered.

My city was named for the 7th American president.....a revolutionary war era figure, he owned as many as 300 slaves in his lifetime.

I’ve always found it more than a little humorous that city leaders have always turned a blind eye to that fact. Lol!

? Wasn’t Jackson 7th potus? When did he serve in Revolutionary War? He was born in 1767.
Don’t you mean war of 1812.
