Andrew Jackson was a total jerk, the Bolton of his age.
He was definitely in with his part of the elites, because the policies he was enacting werent his alone. One of the things I hate about this rampage is that we never really get to discuss what was behind an individuals actions. They scream that hes just BAD.
Jackson was not the Hitler of his time. He was simply doing the manifest destiny stuff, and it wasnt his idea alone. However, I will say that he was a particularly cruel slave owner. He owned a lot of slaves, and when they escaped, he would send slave catchers after them ....and pay them extra if they could beat or torture the runaways in some way that didnt render them useless before they returned them to Jackson. Definitely not a nice person, but a very influential one and a legitimately elected president who cannot be erased.
Anyway, the Dems have got take credit for him...LOL!
The one thing he was not was a wilting flower.
