Let's see...Andrew Jackson invades Florida, creates an issue with Spain, and shoots British subjects, all in the name of the security of the State of Georgia.

I guess he could have held a bigger gun to the head of the collective States than the possibility of war with both England and Spain.

Do you truly wish to discuss this, or do you only wish to act the pompous ass and inflict your brand of 'intellectualism' on the forum?
