“Washington was born into the slavery culture. Being an activist would have been unbecoming. However It’s clear from historical documents that Washington took a firm stance against slavery as he increased in age. Jackson, OTOH created a political party to defend and enshrine the institution of slavery.”

I hesitate to challenge your thinking on this.

Both Jackson and Washington were born into slave owning times. Both died owning slaves.

The United States Constitution - the one President Washington took an oath to protect and defend - enshrined slavery.

If you don’t like President Jackson, fine.

But to exclude him from the pantheon because he choose to be born during times of slavery would mean excluding a lot of people in the past 6,000 years.

Jackson utterly destroyed the deep state of his day.
