"In the early days of our republic, President Andrew Jackson established an important principle of American-style democracy"

Andrew Jackson was a pox on the Republic -- the very sort of person the founding fathers warned against.

In my opinion, Andrew Jackson was about as close to a true dictator as we ever got.

Ask the Cherokees what they think of Andrew Jackson.

Jackson was nothing but an extension of the White League/White Line in the south.

The Republicans couldn't hold the line on re-construction because of the DemoRat's and the sympathy and fear of the north when they saw what re-construction really meant.

I don't believe the Republicans at that time would have anything to do with him.

They all were for themselves then, and are now. Nothing has changed.

As I look at Iraq, I recall the words of former general and soon-to-be President Dwight Eisenhower during the dark days of the Korean War, which had fallen into a bloody stalemate. “When comes the end?” asked the General who had commanded our forces in Europe during World War Two. And as soon as he became President, he brought the Korean War to an end. Do what?
