My favorite Andrew Jackson Quotes:
One man with courage makes a bulk.
To victors belong the spoils.
Never have counsel of your fears.
You must pay the cost if y'all wish to secure the blessing.
It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.
I have always been agape of banks.

Comments:
When looking at our electric current President, Donald Trump, many wait at the similarities to Andrew Jackson. Personally, I think information technology is probably a little too early in Trump's assistants to compare him to anyone yet. Merely Jackson was the original "Rally the Common Man" President. In fact, right subsequently Jackson was sworn in, he invited that "mutual human being" to gloat his new administration at his new home, The White House. They trashed the identify. I firmly believe that our government belongs to its citizens, not that our government is above its citizens. I applaud Jackson's resolve to motivate citizens to accept an active part in our authorities. But Jackson's own stubbornness was also the cause for his just average ranking. He was determined to get his way on the banking issue, to the point that it brought our nation to an most financial collapse. I promise our current President looks at President Jackson and comes to realize that stubbornness can only comport you so far.

Favorite Andrew Jackson story:
My favorite Andrew Jackson story happened on Jan xxx, 1835. Jackson was leaving the U.s.a. Capitol after attending the funeral of Due south Carolina Representative Warrant R. Davis. Every bit he was leaving, an unemployed business firm painter named Richard Lawrence pulled out a pistol, aimed straight at Jackson, and pulled the trigger. The pistol failed to fire. Undeterred, Lawrence pulled out a second pistol, aimed direct at Jackson once again, and pulled the trigger again. Again the pistol failed to burn. Everyone stood around stunned. Jackson, who was older and in frail health was walking with a cane at the time. As everyone stood effectually, not knowing what to do, Jackson started beating Lawrence with his cane. Finally, someone restrained Lawrence. The strangest thing is, the pistols were both tested over and over again, later the bump-off attempt, and there was nothing incorrect with them.
