Jackson is my favorite president. Dealing w the central bank issue, his famous quote was, “John Marshall has made his ruling, now let him enforce it!”. Jackson is a rarity among presidents in that for decades afterwards, presidents were referred to by how “Jacksonian” they were, much as we speak of how Reaganesque a candidate is now. For those who note that he was a Democrat ... yes, BUT, he would have been running to the right of Reagan, Ted Cruz, Barry Goldwater ... etc were he alive today.

Jackson knew who the Americans where. He ran all the American Indians to their reservations in the west. If Trump does what he says and all the illegals go home it will be the most amazing times in our current history. Jackson Indian Removal
Andrew Jackson had long been an advocate of what he called “Indian removal.” As an Army general, he had spent years leading brutal campaigns against the Creeks in Georgia and Alabama and the Seminoles in Florida–campaigns that resulted in the transfer of hundreds of thousands of acres of land from Indian nations to white farmers. As president, he continued this crusade. In 1830, he signed the Indian Removal Act, which gave the federal government the power to exchange Native-held land in the cotton kingdom east of the Mississippi for land to the west, in the “Indian colonization zone” that the United States had acquired as part of the Louisiana Purchase. (This “Indian territory” was located in present-day Oklahoma.)
