He's really come under a lot of criticism lately.
However, he broke up the big banks and is still the only president to actually balance the US budget.
Most people dislike the Trail of Tears, even while living on land east of the Mississippi and directly benefiting from his actions.
Taking Florida, fighting fiat slavery, so many great things this guy did.
Better than Harriet Tubman, at least...

He's a democrat, so of course nobody likes him.
best president
trump has the potential to be as great as him, if not better
Dude was a complete asshole.
He was brutal against his own soldiers, he murdered people in duals, he ruined the American economy, and he broke the agreements the American government and Native Americans made on good faith resulting in the deaths of thousands.
His greatest achievement in life was winning a battle after the war had ended.
OP is going to have to explain what the hell he means by Jackson fighting "fiat slavery".
Was probably the sole reason you weren't completely retaken in 1812, killed your second bank, revolutionised politics and democracy and was a fucking Badass.
Used to cane and shoot his enemies for fun.
Probably your best president, its just a shame about the slave owning and the Indian removal act.
He's fucking awesome
Race mixing cuck
best president since Washington
Fuck Indians
Jackson had a trail of tears. Trump can have a Nafta Salt SuperHighway
Most badass president that ever lived.

>Was bitter and violent in his final years because he couldn't stand not being in politics and argued with anyone who was unlucky enough to pass by his property
Heart and soul of the Democratic party he founded. They never stopped trying to kill all the natives and enslave all the blacks, they just got so good at lying that they're tricking them into doing it to themselves.

No wonder the left hates him!
Proud Ulster Scot who managed to btfo the Irish even when he lives in America and is fighting the British army.
Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefersson are one of my favorite presidents.
One of the most bad ass presidents, he beat one of his own would be assassins so bad people had to pull him off. Also the battle of New Orleans in the war of 1812 was pretty cool, even had actual pirates helping him, and defeated a force three times larger than his own
He did a lot for the working people and everyman of this country, including supporting economic decentralization and expanding the franchise to white males without land, but he also committed crimes against American Indians and endorsed what we would call corrupt political practices.
Here you go, senpai. ;^)
google.com
He will stay on the 20 for at least 8 more years
praise kek
especially not by letting them shoot you first
>He was brutal against his own soldiers, he murdered people in duals, he ruined the American economy, and he broke the agreements the American government and Native Americans made on good faith resulting in the deaths of thousands.
This is true. By "killing" the bank he threw the country into the deepest economic crisis and depression it had experienced up until that time. As the first "man of the people" to sit in the White House, his actions most harmed the people who he claimed to champion. It would take the country a decade to pull out of that economic hellscape.
Dude was a fucking badass his whole life. I just watched the History Channel Docu on youtube about him.
>New to Gov't and say fuck you to GEORGE MF'N WASHINGTON during a session
>Duels a man. Waits for his opponent to shoot - takes it like a fucking champ - then takes his sweet as time to aim and kill him
>Fucked the kike fedbanks. On his deathbed he stated this was his greatest life accomplishment
>One of the greatest if not the greatest army general of his time
>Fights indians who are killing settlers the way mudslimes terrorize today
>When his Wife's brother dies, they take in his kid and his names him ANDREW MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON JR. LOL. Literally the anti-cuck
Andrew Jackson created the Democratic party and his re-incarnate Trump has come back to destroyed it.
he didnt do that know your history
They should NOT take him out of the dollar bill. He killed the banks, he should be remembered forever.
My only issue with Andrew Jackson is that the Cherokee made a compelling case at the Supreme Court, but Jackson said fuck that, didn't have the case heard because the Cherokee didn't count as a "foreign" nation, and did what he wanted to anyway.
Of course he did.
my family has an old ass clock with a painting of Andrew Jackson on it that they pass down to every first born son.
So hyped to get it one day.
>endorsed corrupt political practices.
Such as?
The spoils system. Basically patronage.
He was the greatest president of all time
>Trail of tears was honestly the best solution to the native problem, had he left it the way it was there simply would have been more casualties on each side. Also he had 3 adopted native children. >Killed the fed which at the time was full of white collar criminals.
>Won every single duel and he took part in many, many duels.
>Stopped a british soldiers blade with his bare hand at the age of 13 when he refused to clean the soldiers boots.
Took florida from the mexicans.
>Invited all of his people to his inaguration party and gave them a bunch of cheese.
>Is the face of americas favorite dollar bill
Not him, but not doing your work for you.
Justify your own claim.
His campaign with John Quincy Adams was identical to Trumps against Clinton. Trump is Jackson reincarnate in many ways, too.
The Man Who Fought the Bank, like pic related
A true hero.

Not for long

"In New York at this time the supporters of President John Quincy Adams, called Adams men, or Anti-Jacksonians, or National Republicans, were a feeble organization. Shrewd Adams supporters determined to use the strong anti-Masonic feeling to create a new party in opposition to the rising Jacksonian Democracy nationally, and the Albany Regency political organization of Martin Van Buren in New York.[26] In this effort they were aided by the fact that Andrew Jackson was a high-ranking Mason and frequently spoke in praise of the organization.[27] The alleged remark of Anti-Masonic organizer Thurlow Weed (which Weed denied), that an unidentified corpse found in the Niagara River was "a good enough Morgan" until after the 1828 elections, summarized the value of the Morgan disappearance for the opponents of Jackson.[28]"
He's a snake in disguise and should not be respected.
As a child of the 90's who fondly remembers afternoon cartoons on the WB, I salute you.

It basically meant that federal employees were hired partially on their loyalty to the administration and party in power. The practice wasn't cracked down on until the 1880s when non-partisan evaluation of candidates for federal employment began.
what did this nigger do again?
Yes he did.
She helped a few hundred slaves run away from the plantation. She's become more of a symbol than an agent of change. Of course symbols do matter to people.
I met a Freemason once. That or a pathological liar. I got stuck in an elevator with him.
This might sound stupid but I'm assuming that is a bad thing because government is supposed to counteract itself to keep the power in check right?
Sauce?
>leftists love sucking the dick of bankers now
I like this timeline.
BAsically Trail of Tears is the only part that people serious criticize him for. Anyone who criticizes him on the bank issue is a fucking good goy.
Also Tubman should've replaced Hamilton, but leave it to progressives to make up something at the last minute to try and spite Action Jackson.
It's considered a bad thing because it meant that civil servants were appointed largely based on their loyalty and ties to the winning party rather than on their individual merits.
You're just pissed because Old Hickory's protege, Young Hickory, a.k.a James Polk took most of your country and would have taken it all if Nicholas Triste hadn't disobeyed orders and negotiated a treaty as Generals Scott and Taylor were poised for total victory.
He should've taken it all 2bh, we've never had a competent ruler.
...
>i have an extremely short time preference and ram cock up my ass
What he achieved was ending inflation, keeping wealth in the pockets of people saving their money rather than requiring them to store it in a bank or spend it in order to not lose its value. Economic crisis was an expected outcome, dumb nigger.
desu the only thing about jackson i really care about is how many of him are in my wallet u feel me senpai
worst president
That's why he called it a dual.
A DUAL HOMICIDE
There are reasons for that though. Mexican geography sucks. Also, most of what Polk took couldn't be governed anyway. Most of that territory was run by governors to whom almost all power had devolved.
You fucking Jews always rewriting history to support your jew banking institutions
Yeah who gives a shit about natives. They should of been wiped out with impunity not put on fucking reservations whrer they suck up welfare and play the slots
>implying anyone will use a 12 dollar bill
He introduced the spoils system in American politics, dumb nigger.
>man of the people~
>Trail of Tears
America's version of the Arminian genocide.
W-what Armenian ""G-Genocide""?
Andrew Jackson was the best president of the united states. Anyone who says otherwise has zero sources to support their claims.
Who the fuck has time to make this compilation of ugly people
>Probably your best president, its just a shame about the slave owning and the Indian removal act.
That's why he was so great, desu
The fact that they were able to culturally adapt enough to present themselves in the highest court in the land shows at least some form of adoption of Western culture.
Did you know him?

Yeah, he fucked my wife and beat the assassin I sent after him nearly to death with his cane.
>Before ever becoming president, Jackson fought 103 duels–mostly defending the integrity of his wife. As a result, Jackson is said to have kept 37 pistols ready to be used in a duel at all times. Such was the occasion on the bank of the Red River in May of 1806.
