Andrew Jackson, Our Nation’s 7th President: A Dueler, a War Hero, and a “Dangerous Man”
You could say Andrew Jackson was a little rough around the edges. He grew up in the back country of the Carolinas, running around barefoot and using his fists to solve problems (a recurrent theme throughout his life). Thomas Jefferson considered him an “able general” but a “dangerous man” because of his temper and lack of respect for laws and the constitution.
Luckily for Jefferson, Andrew Jackson wasn’t elected president until two years after his death so he wasn’t around to see what was to come.
My kids thought his “cape” was funny. Like the Mt. Rushmore sign in the background?
