“Jackson probably had fewer enemies than Trump does.”
Charles Dickinson and Thomas Hart Benton, among others, might have disagreed. Jackson was involved in 100 duels.
Their mouths wrote checks their asses couldn't cash. :^)
“Jackson was involved in 100 duels.”
He survived 100 duels? That strains credulity.
Jackson was involved in 100 duels
*************
Dueling was quite common in the early 1800’s and could be sparked by nearly anything considered to be an insult, slight or disagreement. Disputes were often fomented by personal issues and/or matters involving friends and relatives.
The Dickinson duel had its origins in a dispute over payments related to a horse race. The incident with Benton was NOT really a duel; more like a brawl and shootout that occurred in a hotel in Nashville.
Both of those incidents occurred BEFORE Jackson became president so you have to put his life and times in proper context.
In terms of sheer numbers Trump has a lot more political enemies than Jackson ever did.
