Don’t forget about Jackson and the trail of tears. Didn’t he outright ignore the supreme court?

"Don’t forget about Jackson and the trail of tears. Didn’t he outright ignore the supreme court?"

I too do not like the comparison of Jackson to the Tea Party; but then, look who's making the comparison.

Yes he did. and I have argued in a number of scholarly articles that his “war” on the BUS was less about a “big bank” than it was a war on ALL banks and private issue money, of which I’m a big fan. The gold standard (i.e., NO bank able to issue paper) would have absolutely choked this country in the cradle.
