In 1814 when we had to kick the Brits out for the second time Jackson was our Huckleberry. Read a history book sometime.

I have a degree in history and Jackson's meaningless battle at New Orleans, no matter how triumphant the outcome, does nothing to remove the stains on his name. Those stain were self inflicted and the result of psychotic hatred for American Indians. His treatment of the Seminole and Cherokee people would be considered genocide today.

I'm no bleeding heart but Jackson is an historical embarrassment.

I am distantly related to Andrew Jackson and many of my ancestors have Andrew Jackson in their name. I do not like the political tyrant taking away my heritage in favor of any unknown person.
