Trump: Andrew Jackson hated the Civil War. Despite being dead at the time.

Where is Mr. Peabody when you need him.

 

People who say Trumpanzee sound like the people who say Sheeple. I get it. Trump is a buffoon. But it comes off as so pompous. Carry on. Much Love.

 

Good article by a flaming turd.

Yeah, but everybody knows that George Will and the National Review are a bunch of liberal whiners...

 

Just curious... why does it not matter now that Jackson owned a great number of slaves?

Lastly, what made Jackson great? His populism led to one of the worst economic periods of American history.

 

I saw this documentary on Abe Lincoln on HBO. Did you know that old Honest Abe was a vampire hunter on the down low? And the plantation owners were all vampires? Andrew Jackson was a vampire, no doubt, who would have fought hard to expand slavery if Abe hadn't kill him.

 

Not to mention the Trail of Tears came from Jackson and was one of the worst things in this nation's history.

 

It also isn't like that was a singular incident, it's just the most recognizable.

 

Jackson may not have been a great president but he was a man of his times

Just like slavery that includes Native American policy

 

Jackson has become a popular figure with that populist right wing. I agree that he was a man of his time, but his policies were crappy overall, especially the economic ones.

 

Absolutely.

 

All I remember about Jackson from history class was that he had one of the most corrupt presidency in history, is that why Trump likes him so much?

Sorry, I must have mixed Grant and Jackson lol. I checked google and it seems Jackson is no saint either.
