#andrewjackson #presidents #americanhistory

Known for his fiery personality and for being the first president to represent the “common man,” he single handedly changed American politics forever. For better or for worse. Nah, actually I’d say mostly for better. Sometimes we need outsiders in there to shake things up and stick it to the elites, and Jackson indeed was a champion for the underdog. Well, the white underdogs. Hey, it was still progress. And folks forget that Jackson, even though he WAS one of the elites by the time he ran for President, truly was a rags to riches story. He was born in poverty and rose up, the first President to represent the somewhat so-called American Dream. Jackson never forgot his humble upbringing, and his populist message and commanding leadership style helped shape the American democratic ideals that many of us take for granted today. That all said, critics called him a demagogue who ignored the law when it was convenient.

Sure, he was terrifying. He was racist….and a little crazy. But I think the United States ultimately ended up on a better path because of him.
