- Both revered and reviled in his own time, the seventh President of the United States Andrew Jackson never backed down from a fight. His “my way or the highway” approach made “Old Hickory” as ruthless with his veto pen as with his dueling pistol. Allen Guelzo, Distinguished Research Scholar in the James Madison Program at Princeton University, tells Jackson’s story.

Script:
No American President has been more beloved and reviled than Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States. This was as true during his own day as it is in ours.
Andrew Jackson was born in South Carolina on March 15, 1767. He was barely ten years old when the American Revolution broke out. The war claimed the lives of his two brothers and his mother, leaving Jackson orphaned, alone, and with a bitter hatred for all things British.
In time, he would get his revenge.
Tall with sharp features topped by a thatch of red hair, Jackson always made an impression. In 1788, after a brief study of the law, he wangled an appointment as a district attorney in Tennessee, then known as the Southwest Territories, began investing in land and slaves, and earned an appointment as major general of the Tennessee militia. Though he had no formal military training, he was a natural leader. The men under his command would follow him anywhere. And if they didn’t, he might hang them. He fought numerous duels. He killed a man, Charles Dickinson, in one. That was Jackson.
As Jackson’s investments and military reputation advanced, so did his political interests. He served in Congress when Tennessee became a state in 1796 and later briefly as senator. His politics were decidedly Jeffersonian. He believed that owning land was the only real wealth; that industry, commerce, and banking were financial traps that ultimately benefited the rich at the expense of everyone else.
In 1812, a new war broke out between the United States and Great Britain. The conflict was a disaster in almost every respect for the ill-prepared Americans. But it ended on a high note thanks to Jackson. Sporting the nickname “Old Hickory” (hickory being a notoriously hard wood) and commanding a hastily assembled army at New Orleans, Jackson won a terrific victory over a British invasion force in 1815. That victory made Jackson the most celebrated man in America.
By 1824, Jackson was ready for a run at the presidency. His two most serious opponents were the Speaker of the House, Henry Clay, and the secretary of state, John Quincy Adams.
Jackson won the popular vote but did not secure a majority in the electoral college, which, according to the Constitution, threw the election into the House of Representatives. There, Clay’s sudden endorsement of Adams swung the chamber and the presidency to Adams.
An infuriated Jackson, convinced that Adams and Clay had colluded against him in a “corrupt bargain,” declared his intention to run again in 1828. This time he beat Adams in a landslide.
As president, he applied his characteristic ruthlessness to the federal budget, slashing infrastructure projects he did not believe were the province of the national government. When the national bank came up for recharter in 1832, he vetoed it.
Jackson, who harbored a lifelong distrust of bankers, insisted that the nation’s assets should be distributed to financial institutions throughout the United States rather than concentrated in one location. Was he right? No. This decision led to the financial depression of 1837. But Jackson never doubted himself. That was Jackson.
Old Hickory’s most controversial decision came in 1830. The issue was tariffs. South Carolina, represented by Jackson’s own vice president John Calhoun, insisted that tariffs be lowered because they favored manufacturing and commercial interests at the expense of Southern plantations. Calhoun assumed Jackson, a Southern planter himself, would agree. Otherwise, Calhoun warned, South Carolina would assert its state sovereignty and nullify the collection of federal tariffs within its boundaries.
But Jackson regarded South Carolina’s nullification threat as an attack on the Constitution -- and on his authority as president. The states had voted themselves into a federal Union in 1788, Jackson insisted, and no single state or group of states could defy it.

@J E what do you mean thank lee for that? All he did was carried out an order. He did not personally execute john brown, that was the law makers fault at the time for making a Marty out of John brown.
Although President Jackson is the last veteran of The Revolutionary War and he called himself a Jeffersonian, President Jefferson called him: “a dangerous man”.
Yes. Of course Jefferson died in July 1826, on the same day that John Quincy Adams' father John died, and over two years after the office of POTUS had been stolen from Jackson. They had been watching the growth of Jackson's personality cult over the last few years of their lives, and could see nothing good coming from it.
Incidentally, the real reason the 1824 presidential election ended up being decided in the House was not because no candidate had won a majority of the popular vote; rather it was because no candidate had won a majority of the electoral college vote. Such inaccuracies bother me.
@@markmaki44601.5% of Ammericans "voted" for Washington, so yeah it truly wasn't that representative.

If people actually read about what TR believed in republicans would despise him and progressive democrats would love him.
Jackson proved to be correct in his distrust of the federal banking system. Especially given the incredible financial mess we're in today. $32 trillion in debt , continuing to print more and more currency and borrow borrow borrow
I like that he shrunk the gov, went against the banking system and paid off national debt
And then when he shrunk the native population, that was pretty cool

“I killed the Bank.” - Andrew Jackson 😊
@@RicardoGarcia-uw6cr exactly. Ahehe😁✌️
I am shocked that this video actually included, though not naming, the Cherokee Nations Supreme Court battles. There were actually two: Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) and Worcester v. Georgia (1832). The historical context is that Georgia was looking westward to settle more land suitable for plantations. The Cherokee Nation, that had built a government emulating the US, took the matter to the Supreme Court. The first case (1831), ruled that the Cherokee Nation was not recognized as a foreign nation and could, therefore, not submit a case to the Supreme Court. However, upon review in Worcester v. Georgia, the Court recognized the Cherokee Nation as a separate foreign entity, and ruled Georgia's laws imposed on the Cherokee Nation to be unconstitutional. Chief Justice John Marshall argued, "The Cherokee nation, then, is a distinct community occupying its own territory in which the laws of Georgia can have no force." The conclusion of the case being that intercourse between the US and other foreign entities must take place within the confines of US law. However, the Indian Removal Act had been passed two years earlier in 1830. Congress voted 28-19, the House of Representatives voted 102-97, Jackson signed the act into law on May 28, 1830. The Cherokee Nation, being part of a few to resist the law, did everything right. They won their case, but still lost everything. The irony being that the US has always prided itself on independence and fighting for freedom. Jackson too, being a proponent of such ideas. But the same sentiments don't apply to those who can be labeled as "other."
Amen Potato time
Congrats on showing your ignorance.
First off the Indian Removal was a treaty negotiation. One of the most prominent was the Treaty of Echota in 1835 with the Cherokee. It had LITERALLY NOTHING to do with Jackson and the Indian Removal Act. The rulings you cite stated that STATE governments could not regulate commerce or laws within the Indian territories. The reason being that states do not do international negotiations. That is the FEDERAL government's job.
Second, what Jackson did was the same thing Washington and Jefferson did. They sat with native leaders, negotiated treaties, paid them for the land and gave them new land. The treaty of Echota was negotiated between Jackson and tribal councilman Major Ridge. Ridge and his alliance known as the "Ridge Party" supported the move to Oklahoma. However there was opposition lead by council chief John Ross. Nevertheless Jackson negotiated a price for the land and what territories out west would be compensated. This was no different than Jefferson buying Louisiana or Seward buying Alaska.
Cherokee v Georgia and Worcester literally have NOTHING to do with the Indian Removal Act. The state of Georgia in Worcester required white residents to receive a license to live on Cherokee land which was declared unconstitutional. Please explain how that relates to the president negotiating the purchase of land willingly by Native leaders? You going to say Washington and Jefferson were wrong for doing the exact same thing?
@@ImperiumMagistrate Yikes.
@@ImperiumMagistrate
So the Indians and white Americans _negotiated_ forced removal of the Indians and imperialism against them? Yup, that definitely makes sense! I guess Hitler and the Jews negotiated the Holocaust, right?
What do you think happens to the Cherokee if they weren't removed? You think the state of GA just gives up their push for more land and ignores the discovery of gold on Cherokee territory? Everyone holds hands and lives in wondrous peace.
Trail of Tears. To hell with Andrew Jackson.
I'm sure Hell has him. Man was a gambler, had a wrathful temper, and had no qualms about shooting a man who challenged his honor.
By all Christian reasoning, he's rotting in hell.
Hell yeah my boy!
@@JE-zl6uy Agreed!
@@MasonRai Agreed!
So a hard travel from a treaty the Natives negotiated with makes him evil?
He was right about the banks, although it took awhile to get worked out. Our current system of Federal Reserve banks is closer to Jackson’s thinking than the 2nd Bank of the United States was. He deserves his place on the $20 bill for his contribution to banking reform.
ROTFL
Unless you were Native American people.
Awww...well. I guess every mass murderer is also someone's hero...
That's why Jackson was a jackass who was the American Hitler. Andrew Jackson was the Hitler of his time! Jacksonian Genocide. Jackson was a mass murderer.
He negotiated the treaties with the natives
Jackson literally praised the Native Americans and fought along side them
The only indians he killed were tribes who sided with enemy armies like the British, and indians who killed innocent people. Other than that, this didn't stop jackson from adopting an american indian child.
This is supposed to make him look good?
Obviously not.
Joe once dueled Andrew and won
Is that when he took him behind the bleachers ?
My public school taught me that he was a fool.
Glad to see a new take.
He was a fool, he owned slaves and look at what he did to the Native Americans. I am African American, European American, German American, and Native American, I hate that he did that.
And you are mire of a fool for perpetuating the myth that Indisn trubes and black African tribes never participated in their own forms of slavery.
Hell, how about the FACT that Muslims enslaved white eatern European Christians?
What about the FACT that Indian tribes encroached on land previously occupied by other tribes?
The Dakota Sioux did NOT just peacefully settle the Dakota territory.
What about the FACT that labor and sex slavery, on a per capita basis, occurs at the HIGHEST rate of economic output in...AFRICA?
How about those facts..."brotha?"
@@VeniVidiVici456 But racism was nonexistent there while the Whites had racism mixed with slavery.
@Johnpolitis...
If I am interpreting your comment correctly, you are absolutely correct in pointing out the hypocricy espoused by the non-critical analysis and woke parrotting of these revisionist SJW.
For example, Nigerians have expressed views of racial superiority toward American inner city blacks. That is an inconvenient FACT often ignored by sociologists and ethnographers, alike. Specifically, some members of traditional Nigerian village comminities viewed American inner city blacks as dirty and intellectually inferior in comparison to their own Nigerian, natavist ethicnic lineage.
Those are inconvenient FACTS with which their revisionist whitewashing is exposed for the intellectusl dishonesty by which they justify their attempts for superimposing systemic indocrination.

@@JMolKoz20791 he treated his slaves like family like most masters; the reason for his dissent was because he eliminated the reason for south carolina to secede; he was a man of much honour; there was no trail of tears that's a white liberal lie - it was instead for the benefit of a backwards race (the red indians); he is the only president to get rid of debt; he got rid of the fat cats in the bank; he saved america many times; he was a man of the people; he was virtuous; he was a christian through and through; he came from nothing; etc i suggest reading in defense of andrew jackson. by the way pragerU is run a by a apartheid supporting jew so that doesn't mean anything to me
I greatly appreciate the neutrality and truthfulness of this video. This is especially impressive for Jackson as the topic.

Anyway, that’s all I see here. An American president who had the right idea regarding federal banks and debt, sure. But a genocidal maniac against the Native Americans. Read on the Cherokee nation and how they did everything right in the Georgia courts and STILL were denied.
Educate yourself, provide evidence. Patriotic relocation is a meaningless term here. If it was patriotic, they would have been allowed to remain within the States, instead they were pushed away with no mercy for human life.

Interesting that Jackson was correct in asserting that states could not nullify laws they disagree with and had the courage to stand up to them. If there were more like him the entire sanctuary issue would have died years ago. It was left untreated and metastasized.
I like this video. Jackson was an absolute Chad in many respects. They did miss the part where he became the first and only president to pay off the national debt, which prageru forgot to mention. That was one of he greatest victories in his time as president. Also I think they just kind of make it like he was more into politics than being a war hero, which isn't necessarily true. In fact it quiet the opposite, because he is more famous for being in the military and being a war hero than a president. Him becoming president is like Washington, he only did it because his country wanted him to.
Jackson also killed an early version of the Fed.

@@MasonRai
and here i thought manifest destiny is only for the white man, good thing the Indians got their own
@@MasonRai
well that's good he is a job creator also
@@nicbahtin4774 The “Manifest Destiny” was an imperialist plan to expand America. One of the main reason the American Revolution happens was because the Americans could not pass the Appalachian Mountains because it was reserved for the natives. We took that territory after the revolution and then we furthered our territory to native lands. America is the most racist colonial empire in history. They said it was okay to have colonies as long as it was not home to white people. So they colonized Hawaii, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico. Also slavery is one of the worst parts of American history, those slaves were better off being free than being used as forced labor.
Which people? The ones forcibly displaced from their homes and sent on a death march?
I mean although the March was logistically terribly planned, and it was harsh, keep in mind local citizens would just keep on continuing attacking the local Indian population, which is what started the relocation in the first place. But why don't we just give this Allen guelzo a chance and see what he says in his presentation.

Top 3 worst presidents #1 Joe Biden #2 Woodrow Wilson #3 Andrew Jackson
Biden is too recent. We won’t know the full effect of his administration until years later.
I mean Joe Biden is not a great president but he is not the worst. Joe hasn’t done anything to help the country but he hasn’t done much to ruin it, same with Trump. If you mean how they governed the nation your list would be mostly accurate minus Joe. If you take in person background of Presidents a lot of Presidents who did a great job governing the country would be lower because they owned slaves. Like Washington or Jefferson. In my opinion they were good Presidents but bad people.
I'd make Biden number 3. Wilson by far was the worst.
@Steven Blythe I think it's close but Wilson did a lot of bad but he did win WW1 that's a bigger accomplishment than most presidents and Biden has no accomplishments only failures
Long Live Andrew Jackson.

@@007kingifrit i dont agree with you, i think you are wrong. if that was so, then why is that not happening to the rest of the country where they went and the others that were already where they were west of the mississippi?
@@007kingifrit The Indians weren't going to be much of a problem either way for the simple reason that they were being numerically overwhelmed. European immigration to the US was massive and continuous, feeding a larger and larger military, which the Indians would have been no match, east or west of the Mississippi, within or without reservations. Case in point, after a certain point, each Indian war was getting easier than the last one.
No, the real problem was and is the descendants of the slaves. From the initial 300,000, they ballooned up to 40,000,000, later fueled by waves of legal and illegal immigration. That's the problem we're really stuck with and haven't been able to solve.
Today, the left has decided to "deal" with it full crawling-style, bestowing our 13% with endless reverse discrimination and generous spending across all levels of government and even the private sector, not to mention rhetorical and cultural groveling. The right - or the center-right, at least - seems to want to go the "colorblind" route with the occasional denouncement of Jim Crow and elevation of MLK, that's when they're not embarrassingly calling Democrats "the real racists." Donald Trump wouldn't STFU for two seconds about "black unemployment" before releasing thousands of their thugs from federal prison via the _First Step Act_
Point is, Jackson should've focused more on the repartriation of whatever freedmen they had at the time than the dwindling Indians. Would've spared us a lot.
He was not a fool ,nor crazy. His views on the federal banking system were right given the economic chaos we're in today .
No ,the handling of the native Indians was not good but it was a necessary evil to expand the nation.

@Derccent Jailed political opponents, suspended Habeas corpus, and shut down newspapers critical of him. The list goes on. Rageholic has a video talking about how shitty Lincon was.
@@gummywurms226 shitty, huh. Name me another president who had to deal with what Lincoln had to deal with.

no he wasn't?
If I had a nickel for every time PragerU made a video praising a reprehensible American figure, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
whats wrong with jackson?
@@007kingifrit A few things:
1. The Trail of Tears. That’s a given
2. The Supreme Court had already ruled relocation of the Cherokee unconstitutional. He did it anyway.
3. He single-handedly created an economic crisis by abolishing the National Bank
4. He was also just a bad guy. During duels, he would fire before the countdown was complete.
So in short, not only was he a racist douchebag, he was also a bad president.
I don’t think they were trying to praise him. Just give a survey around 5 minutes. Good, bad, and ugly. We can’t view history so black and white.
@@trev6265 They literally called the video “The People’s President”. That’s positive framing right there. There are also many phrases in the video that are meant to paint him in a positive light.
They also intentionally associate Jackson’s story with things conservatives love, such as limited government, rugged hard work, the belief that their opponents can only win due to corruption, complete disregard for the rule of law, the extrajudicial execution of people who defy them, and so on.
@@trev6265 There is nothing in that video that conservatives would find distasteful. In fact, they would probably support the Trail of Tears and defend the economic crisis he created if Jackson was President today.
I like that the fact he owned slaves and threatened to hang the men in his regimen who were disorderly is considered a plus in this video.
Yes he did own slaves. But he did stop the import of slaves from Africa.
prager would bring back slavery in a trice if he could, it wasn't catholics stopped the inquisition was it. never forget prager will defend god's right to kill anyone he feels like - a great basis for christian morality eh.
@@spartin001full No that would be Thomas Jefferson
J E please tell me you’re being sarcastic
So did Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe what is your point?
I totally disagree!! the state's do have the right to separate themselves from the federal government!!! And form their own Union
lets start towing them out to sea then.
@@HarryNicNicholas their location is not relevant to the argument?
They do not have that right by law, sorry, you're wrong
And to own human beings etc. Etc......

Seriously folks we aware of that they left out the trail of tears but this video only covers part of what he did.
Idk man the Trail of Tears seems like a pretty big thing to omit. That’s like leaving the Civil War out of Lincoln’s presidency.
It's in the video
i don't care anyways. i'm glad we did it
@@007kingifrit Bro we stole the natives land. That’s like if I told you that you had to grab all your things and move to New Mexico or you would be imprisoned, also I am taking your kids because you are not suited to raise them.
Blah, blah, blah... Trail of Tears is all I need to know about him... Everything else can only be judged by his maker at this point...
yeah
the trail of patriotic relocation of enemy assets was a good thing, they were brutal savages who attacked us constantly. it was necessary to unify the country
@@007kingifrit They weren’t savages. They only attacked when them or their land was threatened. And it wasn’t a good thing
@@MasonRai Wrong! They were savages! The indians attacked the settlers first not vice versa.
Wow... Such ignorant liars who talk out of their asses!
I've always hated Jackson, the man out of all things was the one who started manifest destiny.
Jacksonian Genocide ring a bell?
no....i can safely say you're the only person in history to use that term. unelss you are referring to the trail of patriotic relocation which killed a minimum 3,000 who really deserved it
"Genocide of the indians" is nothing but a big fat leftist lie! Sure there was the "Sand Creek massacre" and all that, but no intended extermination against the indians from anyone. The indians committed more genocide against each other and toward white men.
@@christopherlawrence6353 American Indians committed a genocide on white people? When and where did this happen?
@@007kingifrit Ok, the natives did come from Siberia…. 10,000 years ago that was when wooly mammoths were still alive. Yeah some tribes did fight each other but they didn’t genocide each other. The white Europeans were technically trespassing. America ruined the Native American Life. I like to say there is not true American other than Native Americans everyone else is living in America is European, Asian, African, or Pacific Islander.
@@johnpolitis9060 noble savage fallacy, every society does genocide. it's just only we superior people actually wrote down our history.
you use a god of the gaps fallacy to assume that since you don't know their history it was ok. genocide is like breathing, everyone does it.
hell the cherokee didn't free their slaves till 1890
Bernie 2.0!
To solve a problem you must begin at the beginning. The Pilgrims should have been fed Thanksgiving diner and then sent on their merry way! The Indians need to give back the beeds and trinkets and take back Manhattan. In reality the American Indians did pay a high price for European Migration. God bless America.
You don't know anything about Thanksgiving. Plus the settlers were peaceful, the indians attacked them. And FYI the indians were savage.
@@christopherlawrence6353wow, it's 2023 and you still think that
Not the best president to be on a $20 bill.
i say hell will be a cross between disneyland (for the nice folk) and the
playboy mansion (for us perverts) why? well if satan rejected god and i reject
god, why would satan want to torment me? he wants to torment christians, not
his fellow satanists. tormenting sinners would be god's work, since when has
satan wanted to do god's work?
Definitely read a Bible to help clear this up. You'll find that Satan, our mutual enemy, will also be in hell. Hell is made for him, the demons (angels who were kicked out with him), and people who will not bend the knee to King Jesus. Satan wants to torment all of God's image-bearers. We divide ourselves into myriad factions, but there are only those in Christ and those not in Christ. "Satanists" only matter to other Satanists, but Satan sees them as God's image-bearers...and therefore more humans to destroy. He likely sees them as fools, as well, since they fall for his "Satanism" ploy. Satan knows King Jesus and he knows the Scriptures. He knows his time is drawing to a close.
Prager Jew
Lmaoooooo
I'm just here to see men crying in the comments about a man who was greater than they will ever be! Go drink some soy latte!
Because they don't like genocide? Lol
well, today it would better more useful to say "pragerU the hell with you" cos god isn't democratic. god will burn you alive for disagreeing. not just send you to the reservation.
@@andrzej6286 3000 dead isn't a genocide sweetie. plus it was good for our nation. being against genocide is like being against air. it is necessary for the building of a strong body
@@007kingifrit Ok, the natives did come from Siberia…. 10,000 years ago that was when wooly mammoths were still alive. Yeah some tribes did fight each other but they didn’t genocide each other.

@@johnpolitis9060 stop double posting i already defeated this dumb comment
Trail of Tears. To hell with Andrew Jackson.
Agreed,
summary:
"expanded" voting > bloody kansas
created a new party > ended era of good feelings
trail of tears > created issues for settlers and the indians coexsting with the US
all would lead to the civil war
the only good thing you could say he did is that he briefly ended the federal bank,
he never made it a amendment though so it came right back 5 minutes after he was out.
Agreed.
@Edgeward Nope. Not even in name.
well, today it would better more useful to say "pragerU the hell with you" cos god isn't democratic. god will burn you alive for disagreeing. not just send you to the reservation.
Agreed
Trail of Tears. To hell with Andrew Jackson.
well, tiday it would better more useful to say "pragerU the hell with you" cos god isn't democratic.
@@HarryNicNicholas Agreed!
Andrew Jackson was terrible
he did the right thing, they were savages.
@@MasonRai Agreed! Jackson was an Indian Killer!
