All the other presidents before Jackson were from Virginia and owned slaves.

    That video did everything it could to make Andrew Jackson look as bad as possible. It left out a lot of context to do so. His fight with the Second US Bank is a perfect example of that.
    The Firsr US Bank had been shut down in 1811. When Congress created the Second US Bank in 1816, they created an entity that was extremely powerful. It could control the flow of wealth in the country, had sole authority to print paper money and was set up in a way that could enrich the people running it. A lot of people, particularly from western states, were very distrustful of it. There was evdn a hot debate over whether it was constitutional or legal for Congress to create a national bank at all. Andrew Jackson fell on the side that believed it was not and he was hardly alone in that.
    Then there's the issue of paper money. We take it for granted today, but it wasn't always so. For thousands of years, money was minted from precious metals like gold or silver. Paper money, however, was a promise of gold or silver. Again, a lot of people at that time didn't trust that promise. They were much more comfortable dealing in actual gold or silver. Andrew Jackson was one of the.
    While Andrew Jackson is a disliked president, he was also very much a product of his time and place. So he really can't be understood without understanding that time and place.

    • @M4ttNet
      @M4ttNet 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I don't completely agree but I think you make some good points. I think Andrew Jackson had the misfortune of ending up on the wrong side of history like many other people of his time. He was a very popular President, he ability to mobilize peoples fears and concerns was simply outstanding. In hindsight Jackson's popularity has waned under deeper scrutiny and of course again being unlucky to be on the wrong side of history on so many issues. With that said I believe Jackson's supreme court double standards, his native treatment, including many double standards (like getting the aid of the Cherokees during the Creek wars and then exploiting them later), his overreach of federal powers beyond pretty much any other President (especially considering the context his presidency was in, lack of a justifying extreme scenario) and countless other things do deserve to be judged quite harshly. I agree he was pretty much the embodiment of a good slice of people of his time (though we should remember not everyone shared those same feelings).
      He survives as one of the many military leaders with a massive ego who thought they knew everything. You don't want someone like him or even the common person dictating economics since they aren't knowledgeable enough in that, you want people with experience and ideally a track record to do so. Just like you'd want a war leader with experience to help guide military policy. This is pretty common for war hero leaders though, Jackson was far from unique. George Washington seems to be one of the more rare exceptions, he relied heavily on people like Alexander Hamilton for their economic expertise rather than purely his own wants and thoughts.

    Just a few things that were left out of this "all negative" video. It wasn't mentioned that he founded the modern Democratic Party. They did mention that he defeated the Red Stick (Baton Rouge) Creek indians in the Creek War, but did not mention that the Creeks were pretty terrible people. They would raid, capture, rape, torture, and burn. The people DEMANDED that the Government protect them and Jackson succeeded. Of course the fact he defeated the British at the Battle of New Orleans was also mentioned as an afterthought, dwelling instead of his Martial Law order for the city. Well yeah, all of the authorities left the city when the British attacked, and didn't come back for months leaving anarchy. The common citizen gained more power during his administration, and the elites lost some. They didn't like that. Previous to his administration, not everyone could vote. Of course it was only white males that were granted the vote. He actually acted against the South by resolving the Southern Ordinance of Nullification on Tariffs. SO, foreign trade actually increased during his admin. He did kick out corrupt Federal office holders and did replace them with his friends. He did establish and fund the oceanic US Exploring Expedition furthering the US involvement in the sciences of oceanology and oceanography. Oh, and while he was President, a man named Richard Lawrence tried to assassinate him with a pistol, it misfired, and Jackson beat him with his cane.

    • @frking100
      @frking100 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The video also forgot to mention that he placed term limits on most offices that had otherwise lacked them. That he fired a huge number of corrupt officials because yearly the fed government was losing 250,000 dollars to corruption (about 20 million in today's money). And many of his duels were defending the honor of his wife or his friend's wife. His wife had married Andrew while the her previous husband had not signed the divorce papers and many in Washington mocked the couple for it. Andrew's wife would die of depression caused by the constant harrassment before Andrew swore as president. One of Andrew's supporters wives was supposedly a prostitute before marrying and was mocked by many of the men and women of Washington and casted doubt on Andrew for allowing the couple in his presence. Andrew could not stand for the bullying and was prone to dueling (and winning) anyone who insulted either of these women.

The economic depression was already happening, part of Jackson's running platform was reining in the American Bank. While his actions did nothing to stop it, it really didn't cause it either. The American bank was printing money the government did not have the gold and silver to cover and devaluing the American paper dollar.

    I want to add to the list of people saying, this isn't really the best video to get unbiased information from.
    There's a reason Jackson didn't trust the central bank. He didn't want the head of the bank to have control of the economy.
    Also, the video glossed over a bit about the nullification crisis. Secession was most definitely on the table. That's why Jackson used such violent language. If Jackson _hadn't_ threatened to hang secessionists, there could've been the dissolution of the United States, or at the very least a civil war on an earlier timescale. Jackson once said, "if a single drop of blood shall be shed there in opposition to the laws of the United States, I will hang the first man I can lay my hand on engaged in such treasonable conduct, upon the first tree I can reach."
    So, yeah. He wasn't exactly a good guy. But he wasn't a _total_ dick.

      Also to vote in the first federal elections you had to either have served in the military (continental army/militia, navy, or be serving in the current army/navy). Own a certain amount of property or have a business worth a certain amount. This was not a bad idea, it meant that those voting had a vested interest in knowing what the candidates were going to do.
      Again attempting to justify over 200 years of abuse, racism, and genocide by the democrats and their party founder is a sign of the true racist that democrats have always been made of.

    this was very, very politically biased video. Jackson did some "evil" things like the Trail of Tears to the Natives at the beginning of this video that is undisputed. However he wasn't a "devil" out just to do evil things as this video paints him to be. Jackson was and is popular for a reason and it wasn't just his war record as a general. There is a reason he is on the $20 bill. The Depression on him that didn't happen until 2-3 after he was President and for a multitude of reasons not because of his Bank Busting. His Bank Busting was very popular in the United States. He was the first President to pay off the National Debt, The Economy was in good shape and growing when he left office. After the Depression it was Jacksons Policies that MADE America into the Economic Powerhouse it was. During this time the currency being based on Gold as Jackson had succeed in doing paid great dividends because the Gold Rush happened and America became very wealthy for itself instead of being subservient to Bank of England.
    The video says he "hated" his vice president like he is a hateful man after 10 minutes of constantly subverting Jackson's legacy. Context and History is completely ignored in this video. The VP wasn't packaged with the President in those days but voted on separate. The previous president Quincy Adams and Calhoun made a deal to secure their positions even though Jackson had more electoral votes and more actual popular votes. They both literally cheated him out of the Presidency. Jackson and Calhoun's relationship is like what would happen if next election Trump is forced to have Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden for vice president. It's very obvious they are not going to be friends. The reasons and the benefit it gave to America to change the rules for electing vice president by exposing the flaws in the previous one is instrumental in American History. Jackson ran a populist campaign built on getting rid of the old guard and "spoils system" was part of replacing the old guard the voters told him they wanted him to do.
    This video is ludicrous in the way it ignores History in favor of talking points from his political opposition at the time. Video describes Jackson as "playing / wanting to be King of New Orleans". You already watch the video showing his battle against a much larger British force just a couple years later where he achieved a great victory. There was a war going on with the USA the frontlines. Jacksons actions have merit but that isn't mentioned at all. His great victories or the War itself against the Native / Indians or the British aren't described.
    Context and things that shaped Jackson's politics and worldview is completely ignored throughout this. Things that humanize him or shine a positive light on him are ignored. Jackson grew up about as poor as you can be in the United States. For this reason is why only "the county" and not the city where he was born at is known. Jackson grew up in the mountains which was poor in general at the time without alot of opportunity outside of logging. Then his dad died in a logging accident weeks before he was born. So he grew up with basically nothing. It doesn't excuse his participation in the Slave Trade but helps to explain his where his harsh discipline of both slaves and of a city under basically martial law during a time leading up to a serious war time invasion.
    Instead of context this just sensationalizes him as "crazy" and "evil". You can go on and on with the examples. Fighting in duels was socially acceptable at the time. The 3rd VP of the United States killed the 1st US Secretary of the Treasury in a duel. Killing the man after the first shot was seen very negatively as "cold blooded" at the time that is true. Buts thats all the video focuses on while mocking Jackson's reason for dueling as being "butthurt". Jackson's reasons for being offended were completely valid in that time and now the only difference is dueling is not legal. The video agrees that Jackson and his wife were "bigamist" but this is mid-evil "letter of the law" semantic argument and completely ignores the context that obtaining the official divorce paperwork could easily be mishandled at that early of a point in American history and the Frontier. This is exactly why common for divorces to even be "unofficially recognized" at that point in history. In addition to insulting Jacksons wife with the bigamy comment he also called him a coward. Of course the video ignored Jacksons hard upbringing and military courage as a youth. At age 14 Jackson was serving in the American Revolution as a courier, where he was captured. He backtalked the British officers and was sliced with a sword across the face as punishment. Are we surprised a guy like that wouldn't let some guy at a horse track call him a coward? Yet the video describes his reason for dueling as being "butthurt". Obvious propaganda meant to paint Jackson in the worst possible light.

As far as I can tell, he did do some good things yes, and I agree the video is biased. But I still hate him as a President because the bad things he did aren't excused by doing some good things as well. His moniker of King was apt and a perfect insult.

    We do often forget that Jackson was in multiple wars ranging from 1812 to the Seminole and so much more. The sheer brutality of it all just emphasizes that most presidents might have had some form of PTSD because of their time served. Jackson just didn't care to hide it and embraced it. Destroying millions of people in the wake of American expansion and the thought of the Monroe doctrine probably motivated Jackson to see it through. He was a soldier first and the lessons he learned in the army would go on to become one of the most known genocides to mankind. He was not a kind man and the fact that his marriage was called to question at his campaigning for presidency(his wife was married to another whenever she ran off with Jackson and then eventually divorced and married Jackson. A form of adultery) which eventually led to her death. Jackson had lost the light in his world and destroyed a civilization in the aftermath. At the time, he did what he believed what was right for his people and many agreed. Today we have a different view of things. Of right and wrong. Of the tragedy of it all. It's all up to who's point of view do you choose to understand and consider why.

And his mother died of cholera while serving as a nurse on a prisoner of war boat the same year (making Jackson an orphan at 14). So yeah, wouldn't be surprised if he had some major PTSD.

      While he was certainly no Mr Rogers, Weird History was just out for blood here. They make it seem like he, a guy who faced loads of British- and Spanish-allied Natives in battle and adopted an orphaned Native child himself, was out to slaughter them all, when in fact his approach was nearly identical to Lincoln's with the Africans. He knew after seeing the settlers' furor over Fort Mims that the Natives would never be allowed to peacefully assimilate even if they wanted to (much as Lincoln believed blacks would never be truly socially equal to whites here) and felt racial isolationism between the two would be the most humane and pragmatic solution, much the same way Lincoln's preferred solution to the end of slavery was that after the blacks were freed he wanted either to repatriate them to Africa or send them to black-dominated areas in the Caribbean like Haiti.

    from wikipedia
    Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 - June 8, 1845) was an American soldier 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. As president, Jackson sought to advance the rights of the "common man" against a "corrupt aristocracy"and to preserve the Union.
    Born in the colonial Carolinas to a Scotch-Irish family in the decade before the American Revolutionary War, Jackson became a frontier lawyer and married Rachel Donelson Robards. He served briefly in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate, representing Tennessee. After resigning, he served as a justice on the Tennessee Supreme Court from 1798 until 1804. Jackson purchased a property later known as The Hermitage, and became a wealthy, slave owning planter. In 1801, he was appointed colonel of the Tennessee militia and was elected its commander the following year. He led troops during the Creek War of 1813-1814, winning the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. The subsequent Treaty of Fort Jackson required the Creek surrender of vast lands in present-day Alabama and Georgia. In the concurrent war against the British, Jackson's victory in 1815 at the Battle of New Orleans made him a national hero. Jackson then led U.S. forces in the First Seminole War, which led to the annexation of Florida from Spain. Jackson briefly served as Florida's first territorial governor before returning to the Senate. He ran for president in 1824, winning a plurality of the popular and electoral vote. As no candidate won an electoral majority, the House of Representatives elected John Quincy Adams in a contingent election. In reaction to the alleged "corrupt bargain" between Adams and Henry Clay and the ambitious agenda of President Adams, Jackson's supporters founded the Democratic Party.
    Jackson ran again in 1828, defeating Adams in a landslide. Jackson faced the threat of secession by South Carolina over what opponents called the "Tariff of Abominations". The crisis was defused when the tariff was amended, and Jackson threatened the use of military force if South Carolina attempted to secede. In Congress, Henry Clay led the effort to reauthorize the Second Bank of the United States. Jackson, regarding the Bank as a corrupt institution that benefited the wealthy at the expense of ordinary Americans, vetoed the renewal of its charter. After a lengthy struggle, Jackson and his allies thoroughly dismantled the Bank. In 1835, Jackson became the only president to completely pay off the national debt, fulfilling a longtime goal. While Jackson pursued numerous reforms designed to eliminate waste and corruption, his presidency marked the beginning of the ascendancy of the party "spoils system" in American politics. In 1830, Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which forcibly relocated most members of the Native American tribes in the South to Indian Territory. The relocation process dispossessed the Indians and resulted in widespread death and disease. Jackson opposed the abolitionist movement, which grew stronger in his second term. In foreign affairs, Jackson's administration concluded a "most favored nation" treaty with Great Britain, settled claims of damages against France from the Napoleonic Wars, and recognized the Republic of Texas. In January 1835, he survived the first assassination attempt on a sitting president.
    In his retirement, Jackson remained active in Democratic Party politics, supporting the presidencies of Martin Van Buren and James K. Polk. Though fearful of its effects on the slavery debate, Jackson advocated the annexation of Texas, which was accomplished shortly before his death
    In 1837, after serving two terms as president, Jackson was replaced by his chosen successor Martin Van Buren and retired to the Hermitage. He immediately began putting it in order as it had been poorly managed in his absence by his adopted son, Andrew Jackson Jr. Although he suffered ill health, Jackson remained highly influential in both national and state politics.He was a firm advocate of the federal union of the states and rejected any talk of secession, insisting, "I will die with the Union."Blamed for causing the Panic of 1837, he was unpopular in his early retirement. Jackson continued to denounce the "perfidy and treachery" of banks and urged his successor, Van Buren, to repudiate the Specie Circular as president
    Jackson's age and illness eventually overcame him. On June 8, 1845, he was surrounded by family and friends at his deathbed. Jackson, startled by their sobbing, said, "What is the matter with my dear children? Have I alarmed you? Oh, do not cry. Be good children and we will all meet in Heaven." He died immediately after at the age of 78 of chronic dropsy and heart failure. According to a newspaper account from the Boon Lick Times, "[he] fainted whilst being removed from his chair to the bed ... but he subsequently revived ... Gen. Jackson died at the Hermitage at 6 p.m. on Sunday the 8th instant. ... When the messenger finally came, the old soldier, patriot and Christian was looking out for his approach. He is gone, but his memory lives, and will continue to live." In his will, Jackson left his entire estate to Andrew Jackson Jr. except for specifically enumerated items that were left to various friends and family members.

Ignoring every other country on the planet and then comparing 1700's US to the modern moral framework is asinine. Every other country is arguably more imperial if less efficient at conquest.

    That reaction to the natives part should be in a "Watch people die inside" compilation. War is never pretty, Jackson just did what he had to do for the country. Sounds cold... but it's exactly what we need in 2020. You really shouldn't listen to everything this channel tells you. Andrew Jackson was a great president, this video does nothing but try to demonize him. Those duels had a hell of a lot more to them than this video tells you. It's like the bank shit they talk about, he was keeping banks out of America, which is something most early presidents wanted. He killed and stopped some very bad people and they really overplay how bad the economy was then.
    The growth was slow, but it was steady and for one of the only times in this countries history we had enough gold to back every dollar we printed. Jackson wanted the American dollar to retain its value, and "inflation" as we know it today didn't exist in the same way back then. You should really re watch this somewhere that isn't so biased and hell bent on making Jackson look like a demon. Not everything he did was bad, there was a *LOT* of good in there too. Just like all those politicians kicked out, most of them were linked back to credit unions back in Europe attempting to pay their way into being allowed in our country.

    "On May 30, 1806, Jackson and Dickinson met at Harrison's Mills on the Red River in Logan, Kentucky.
    At the first signal from their seconds, Dickinson fired. Jackson
    received Dickinson’s first bullet in the chest next to his heart.
    Jackson put his hand over the wound to staunch the flow of blood and
    stayed standing long enough to fire his gun. Dickinson’s seconds claimed
    Jackson’s first shot misfired, which would have meant the duel was
    over, but, in a breach of etiquette, Jackson re-cocked the gun and shot
    again, this time killing his opponent. Although Jackson recovered, he
    suffered chronic pain from the wound for the remainder of his life."

I think you may have already done a video on this? On the plus side, Jackson was the first President to retire the entire US National debt. He also advocated the admittance of my own state of Texas to the United States, and I am very happy to be an American, as well as a Texan! As said above, he's on the $20, and whether you like or hate him, he's rated as a very effective President in American history. For good or ill, he got stuff done.

    My Great, Great Grandmother is a Cherokee, and was a child when she and her seven siblings, 15 cousins, three uncles and aunts, mother and father were forced to walk the trail of tears. After she reached the area where she and her family were placed, only she, two of her cousins, and one aunt and uncle survived the journey. To add insult to injury, the mission where she had been given her christian name had lost her records and she was, as an adult, considered an non-citizen of the US. fortunately she met my G.G.Grandfather, a Welsh/Dutch immigrant who was a doctor and helped the natives of the reservation with healthcare, gave her a job, and in time married and had a bunch of kids who were citizens.
