“I don’t know why she would do something like that. She knew how much the competition meant to me.”

Jackson picked out a pebble and held it in his hands. Amazing how something that’s never been touched by man can be so smooth, but he was too frustrated to enjoy it.

Their primary goals were not Constitutional justice and individual liberty, but instead they strived to suppress New England, the Whig party, and business interests and to preserve States’ rights.…

It is no doubt that today we look at Andrew Jackson as one of the most strategic and indispensable generals to the American military during his time, but throughout his life he became a man of controversy. If he disagreed with orders from his…

    Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, remains one of the most controversial figures in American history. Some accounts portray Jackson as a heroic and courageous man, who proved his mettle in various military endeavors, most notably the War of 1812.

Andrew Jackson presented himself as a man of the people and his politics strengthened a nascent American nationalism. Jackson, born in 1767 in the Carolinas a few months after the death of his father, enlisted in the Revolution at the young age of thirteen. He was captured by British troops at…
