76 - Andrew Jackson and the Indians

In this episode, we are going to talk about Andrew Jackson, who is one of the most interesting men to have ever been the President of the US.  In fact, if it wasn’t for his harsh treatment of the Indians, I mean, if he hadn’t done that, he would be in the running for the most popular president ever.  And by that, I don’t just mean popular - there’s a lot of things that he did as president that strongly agreed with the original principles that the US was founded on, principles that the Constitution tried to institutionalize, but that were often ignored by the growing federal bureaucracy in Washington.  Which Jackson strongly opposed, which is why I guess I kind of like him.  Website:  shortwalkthroughhistory.comemail:  [email protected]
