Andrew Jackson was an extremely capable commander in time of war. He brought together soldiers, volunteers, farmers, Acadians and pirates to route the powerful British army in Louisiana. He took Florida from the Spanish.
HE AND HIS FOLLOWERS FORMED THE MODERN DEMOCRATIC PART TO WHICH SO MANY MINORITIES PAY HOMAGE.
He stole millions of acres from a number of peaceful Indian tribes and forced the Cherokee to move to Texas and Oklahoma. Thousands of Cherokee died on the way and more after arriving in their assigned area. This is often called "The Trail of Tears".
He owned many black slaves and thousand of acres of land.
As president he believed in PATRONAGE, as much as possible. Gave extensively to his friends and followers. Just as todays democrats do. Only now we call it GRAFT.
He did expand voting rights to all white men over 21 years of age, he felt that all judges should be elected not appointed.
He believed in and formed "MANIFEST DESTINY". Where America had the right to expand as much as possible, from sea to shining sea.
Took Florida from the Spanish and chased the Seminole Tribe into the swamps. They did fight for the British so that's alright.
Why are you tearing down this statue where you should be kneeling in humble thanks for his forming your current masters, THE DEMOCRATS.
