Andrew Jackson photo from OOPS! 1845, not 1864 or whatever I said first

Like him or hate him, it's a cool photograph.

wiki:

Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) was an American lawyer, general, and statesman who served as the seventh president of the United States from 1829 to 1837. Before being elected to the presidency, Jackson gained fame as a general in the United States Army and served in both houses of the U.S. Congress. An expansionist president, Jackson sought to advance the rights of the "common man"[1] against a "corrupt aristocracy"[2] and to preserve the Union.

2. Ahem!

Says he died in 1845. Picture is supposedly from 1864?

5. Perhaps Mrs. Jackson dabbled

in taxidermy on the side.

7. Ha!

He looks like an interesting person. Wonder why he did the things he did? I've read several books about him and still find him fascinating but misguided. Thanks for the pic.

14. Trump sure admired him!

Hung his painting in the Oval Office.

8. How is it photo from 1864 when he died in 1845?

A typo?

Jackson was a vicious pro-slaver! The only President to have actually run a slave coffle (look it up.)

There is no doubt in my mind, had he lived, he would fought against the Union.

But you are right - wild photo!

11. He also defied a Supreme Court ruling when

he forced the 5 southeastern Native nations to move west of the Mississippi. I'd hardly called him a "statesman" like the quote in the OP does.

9. Check out the high tech bi-focal glasses

We can see the fold away (along side the temple) inner second-lens clearly on his left and partially on his right side.

10. I'll always remember Jackson as the corrupt President that defied The Supreme Court

and brought about The Long Walk Of The Cherokee. No wonder TFG idolizes him.

12. He should be replaced on the $20 with

a picture of Sequoya.

13. He also caused a major depression by destroying the Bank of the United States.

15. The trail of tears

16. You're right. The Long Walk involved The Navajo but by mentioning either them or

The Cherokee should be sufficient. For most people.
