The Royal Navy boarded American ships looking for deserters, of whom there were many in the US Navy and merchant fleets. In one notorious incident a British warship fired into a US warship without justification. The captain never held a command at sea again.
Scottish have always loved to fight, it's hard-wired into their DNA. Their ancient ancestors were the Picts, who even the all-powerful Roman war machine could not conquer and Emporer Hadrian decreed to just build a wall instead. Think about the ferocity of a people to get the Romans to capitulate.
Wow, I never knew that AJ cheated on that historic duel with Burr... Per the "Code Duello" (1777), Rule 20: In all cases a miss-fire is equivalent to a shot, and a snap or non-cock is to be considered a miss-fire. The referee was supposed to kill AJ for pulling the trigger twice.
The only way this country would have come out better is ud the leaders would have listened to the indigenous peoples who were already here, 40,000 years before themselves... that's why we're all going through this karma now. .
And what about the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the Trail of Tears? That is how Andrew Jackson betrayed the Cherokee Native Americans who were his lifelong allies.
I am also Scots-Irish. My ancestors all left Ireland before 1750 and migrated directly to Appalachia. We Scots-Irish have a reputation of being crazy and mean, but only about 25% of us are like that.
Were they recruited by Germans or English? Those recruited by German Quakers most often first settled in Pennsylvania, before moving further into the frontier. Seems our ancestors were a little too rowdy for the Quakers; but not too rowdy to use as Indian fighters...LOL. My Bryson clan was especially active on the NC and SC frontier. The Rutherford Trace was an especially effective campaign against the Cherokeen in North Carolina and Georgia. They also turned the tide in the revolution. The British officers did not like them hiding in the trees and shooting the guys with the fancy uniforms first. Atleast 4 Bryson brothers were fighting at Kings Mountain and Cowpens.

@@justjosie0107 He was also spoiling for a fight at any time. I feel that much could have been achieved without the incessant bloodletting and human tragedy of his times. In sum, how much did his aggressive nature male problems worse?

What happened to "This is Justice Taney's decision. Let him enforce it?" Did I miss it? If so, my apologies. But if not, that's a pretty glaring omission.
The problem with that quote, which actually references John Marshall rather than Roger Taney, is that it only cropped up decades after the fact so far as we can tell and the claim was by Horace Greeley who was a partisan anti-Jackson journalist.
Yes! Imagine how different things might be if the U.S. government recognized local governments formed by native tribes and truly assimilated them into American society.
His Indian removal act was a crime against humanity and even caused Davy Crockett to brake ties with him. He did one thing right. He threatened SC with federal troops to prevent succession and Civil War despite being a Southerner himelf. He also had no illusions that Brits were in any way our "benevolent cousins".
Love him or hate him Jackson expanded the borders of the USA, and made the country powerful militarily and economically. He is our version of the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi, who has done the same for modern China and is still revered by the people to this day.
An observation on the Battleof New Orleans and the Battle of Bunker Hill. The two battles bookend British American conflict and have some similarities that are striking. In both cases, the British seriously underestimated the danger posed by American marksmanship. My view is that this was NOT due to any type of stupidity, but was in fact what would have been a sound tactical opinion if they were facing European militia. The vast majority of militia stink as soldiers, and for nearly all common militia flaws, American militia had them as much as any old world militia. The biggest of these flaws being that militia broke and ran the moment they felt in danger. Even George Washington remarked on this. Militia, however, were known to be fine for holding a fortified position, up until the moment any part of that fortified position started get overrun. The big huge different thing about American militia was that they commonly had rifles, and knew how to hit thing at range. Making American militia in a fortified position VASTLY more dangerous to attack across anything like open ground. If the British in 1815 had been facing European militia armed with Smoothbore guns and little skill at marksmanship, they would have won. Add Jackson's skill as a military leader to the rifles in the hands of men that can shoot, and when British walked in face first, the result was inevitable. Jackson's skill is also evident in that he did not pursue. If he had tried to use his largely militia army in a maneuver battle against the British veterans, they would have slaughtered him. And i am certain he knew it. Jackson's brilliance is that he got the elite veteran enemy army to attack him in a manner that maximize his own strengths. A huge feat of generalship that cannot be understated.
Dont you think that Jackson's success on the battle could have had something to do with the sheer scale of the earthworks (if I recall the ramparts were stretching for quite a wide area and were mote than 10 feet high), the terrain and the numerous blunders of the british in this particular battle? If I recall correctly there was no room to manuver for the british and they had to charge/scale the fortifications if they wanted to get to the City itself. However the detachment responsible for the assault ladders actually FORGOT to bring them along from Camp. In addition to that the British had no artillery which could have had reduced the US fortifications, why they didnt even have light guns is also a mystery to me. And last but not least, part of the british plan was to have a detachment of their forces go further up-river, disembark on the opposite river side and then ford over again further up still to outflank the americans. However they underestimated the strength of the stream and the detachment was severely delayed to the point where they couldnt affect the battle at all. Not discrediting the US Militiamen's marksmenship (though obviously rifled hunting muskets do help a lot when it comes to accuracy), however I'd argue the fact that the british were unable to actually succed in any noteable aspect of their battleplan prior to their commander getting killed and then failing to adapt afterwards surely was the majority of the reason for the british failure.
@MajorCoolD Good points, and perhaps my say that the British 'would have won' if the American militia had been armed with Smoothbore guns and less trained in accuracy is an over statement. But I will stand by my contention that commanders familiar with facing European Smoothbore guns held by poorly trained troops could make 'tactically significant' mistakes facing American militia.
Jackson built a fortified position with cannon on a Canal bank. The British attacked frontally across open ground. The attack was poorly prepared and went away. The British commander Major General Pakenham was killed leading the attack. Bad generalship against Jackson's sensible defence.
8 year rein of terror? Give me a break. Of course the trail of tears was horrific but he wasn't responsible or aware of the degree of how widespread of hate where troops in position of high rank in our militia's in charge of the native American removal. Many stories were rampant among the young soldiers about how barbaric they were. And some were true. I'm sure it went both ways. If you ever have time please read the three volume biography of Jackson by Robert V. Remini.
Jackson's likeness is on the Twenty dollar bill for a reason. Despite his flaws he was a titan of American history. Applying modern day sensibilities to a man born almost 260 years ago is cheap.
People are slaughtering and enslaving and dominating today also. Its evil whenever it happens and humans knew better thousands of years ago. They're just bad people.. Like Biden and trump and netanyahoo today
He's on the $20 because he didn't deserve any better. Applying retrograde modern sensibilities in appreciating him is just as cheap. And be mindful that it's the central bank that prints his face on those notes.
@@subcitizen2012 So, Washington and Lincoln who appear on the one and five dollar notes respectively deserve even less? You heard it from subcitizen first, folks.
Funny, I hear people say that about the previous occupant of the Whitehouse, who has turned our republic into a near-monarchy, thanks to his SCOTUS sycophants.
I like how we're asked about our opinion. I look at Jackson as a whole. Took a lot of grit him to move direction He did. The real question we should be asking is give it the circumstance with any of us have done things for worse...
Thanks for the Lancaster shoutout instead of just saying waxhaws there is a pretty cool Andrew Jackson park here also I’ve been to his family’s grave pretty cool it’s got a stomach high wall around it
I happened upon his home....The Hermitage by mistake with my kids....before heading back to Tampa me and the kids went there for a tour.....as a black female I was impressed with his plantation home and all the things that it consisted of.....the acreage we toured was massive....I say that to say a large portion was sold to the state....with that being said I was brought back to reality with the fact that he had slaves that he owned that tended to his massive plantation
@girldaddividendinvestor I was impressed at the vast amount of land that he had and the false narrative that was presented bring that I love history...I was also saddened...I was humbled when I went to the slave quarters because I felt the spirits of the land
@JR-pr8jb ...yesss he was very cruel....I love how in the end Alfred his devoted slave died at the age of 98 years old and was able to buy alot of Jackson's personal affects when the plantation fell on hard times and he agreed to donate them back to the estate only if he was buried by the Jackson's....to which he was....I'm pretty sure Jackson would feel some time of way
@@SeriousPOV Like to see anyone get treated the way he treated Indians, and still keep your identity. We Americans can't even make up our minds about our own identities, let alone after such insanity.
I didn't hear anything about the use of smallpox as a weapon. Which now learning he was a survivor and it is how one of his brothers died, makes it even more gruesome.
The rumor about Jeffrey Amherst is unproven. Also, no other instance of the alleged smallpox incident ever occurred, as attested by the historical record.
A lot of Native Americans will not use $20 bills because Jackson's image is on the note.. He was terrible towards the Native American people.. I lost a lot of respect for Jackson treating human beings like animals.. I'm not going to mention African Americans because back then it was normal to own slaves and even if you were against it to speak or write about it in a negative way would cause you peril.
Very enlightening 👍🏻👍🏻 I would have preferred using and American narrator, the British accent is off putting to my ear. The British for many years been the bane of our existence.
I concur with you both..( Britain drew the U.S. into both World Wars). However, I found it a very interesting documentary. Politics as usual. The title sets the tone of the documentary, = virtual signally. The OP needs to do a documentary on British Imperial Ambitions in South Africa in the 19th century I recommend a book titled: Jefferson and the Gun-Men: How the West Was Almost Lost, by M.R. Montgomery
You realize it wasn't the British people we fighting, but their tyrannical king. Most of the early colonizers and our leaders in America were British. Jackson was a first generation American of Scottish descent. I think the British narrator does a good job of presenting a fair picture. This channel uses this presenter and it's nice to see them branching out a bit.
My Oafish Uncle Andrew was "all of the above!" Yeah, he was a "potentially dangerous Populist," but he was ALSO the first American President born in a log cabin!😮 He was the first President who was truly a "Man OF the PEOPLE!" Unlike all of the previous "Eastern Intellectuals, he was raised on the Frontier, and was capable of living ON it, and FROM it! He was also LUCKY enough to get just enough real EDUCATION that he could stand 'Toe to toe' with those 'Easterners,' and COMPETE with them, on their own 'ground,' an intelligent, EDUCATED Leader.😮
Jackson was the man our country needed at the time. Amazing with his tragic family history that he rose to the office of the Presidency. I count him with all he accomplished as a true American Hero.
Make content about biography of Timur. He was a Turco-Mongol conqueror who founded the Timurid Empire in and around modern-day Afghanistan, Iran, and Central Asia, becoming the first ruler of the Timurid dynasty. An undefeated commander, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest military leaders and tacticians in history, as well as one of the most brutal and deadly. Timur is also considered a great patron of art and architecture as he interacted with intellectuals such as Ibn Khaldun, Hafez, and Hafiz-i Abru and his reign introduced the Timurid Renaissance.
"8 Year Reign of Terror" - so what acts of terra-ism (deliberate misspell) did he commit? As I bopped along the video, I merely saw a typical American antebellum guy. He had no love for the Indians; neither did other White men. Didn't address slavery? Neither did the Founders. I realize that going against large combines and Federal banks makes him a "terrifying populist" to some, but not to all. I didn't see a "reign of terror" so much as reign of clickbait
Jackson was one of the greatest men to ever live, with imperfections to match. I recommend reading american lion by Jon meacham. It's a fantastic and detailed work about Jackson's presidency and does an especially good job with outlining the complexities of his personal loyalties
'Great'?! Let's see; an owner of an estimated 160+ slaves (and treated them horribly).., violently opposed slavery abolition.., orchestrated the forced removal of 10's-of-thousands of Native Americans, resulting in countless deaths. This man was adept at helping build a sound U.S. economy, but focused his efforts on making sure rich men (including himself) got richer. His humanitarian record is the stuff of nightmares, and MORE than cancels out the 'positive' things he did.
@anthwest1883 lol! 'Mad'?! American history was one of my minors. I am well aware of what Jackson was credited for AND what he was infamous for. When 10's of thousands of human lives (or in THIS case deaths) sit on one side of the scale.., weighed against helping build the system our modern economy thrives on.., let's just say that only a republican might see that as balanced.
He killed the early attempts at a Federal Reserve. He's an absolute HERO. You don't get to retroactively judge humanity by modern liberal arts college standards.
I cannot count the number of documentaries that I've watched and listened to. This is the first one where I know exactly where they're talking about as I grew up in the Lancaster S.C./Waxhaw N.C. area. It's a weird feeling to know where they're talking about from first hand experience in the area.
Excellent video reasonably fair. Why was title 8 year reign of terror? No war occurred. All was done by democratic vote. The natives may have survived as tribes by moving to Oklahoma. He got us out of debt.
Jackson along with Washington and Lincoln form the cadre of my favorite POTUSs. Jackson conducted several successful military campaigns, but my favorite is his success at New Orleans in 1814. The War of 1812 had already been called for lack of British interest, but Jackson decided to show the Redcoats who burned the WH in DC that there was an USofA general who couldefeat the British in a set piece battle. Not only did he whip the British Army, but he defeated the troops and officers that defeated Napoleon at Waterloo! His battle with the national bank and the national debt that Hamilton wanted to create to fund the nation through it to bring US into the European stage to make US a world power was epic. The fight against the federalism of A Hamilton made him a hero in my book. The recession was inevitable and not something to blame Jackson. His reaction to his would be assassin endears me to him even more. A fellow Tennesean near and dear to my heart.
I am really torn on Lincoln. He was a truly mixed bag. He had the potential to be a great man. But, the Constitution was created and composed to protect the power of the states over that of the Federal government. He was for tariffs that crippled the South and propped up the North, which gave even more power to the super wealthy at the expense of the dirt poor.
New Orleans was in January 1815....after the war was over, and 5 1/2 months BEFORE Waterloo. If it had been afterwards, (impossible due to the end of the war) then maybe Arthur Wellesley would have been available. Hardly a set piece battle. An assault on a heavily defended position(artillery), with a lack of siege ladders. A battle in open ground would have been more like the Bladensburg "Races". 😅
At: adventussaxonum448, reread the history, dude. It was in 1814, and it wasn't a set piece battle. It was a run down the Mississippi dragging cannon and marshaling forces to outmaneuver and defeat the troops that defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. Jackson is one of the greatest tacticians this part of the world ever produced.
He was respected by Native Americans and DC as well. The Nstive Americans called him, Old Hickory, because he was tough hard nut to Crack. He subdued all the SE tribes from the southern tip of Florida all across the TN & MS valleys. One of the best general officers this nation has ever produced. Are you jealous much?
I would gladly spend a few weeks at sea if it meant I got a free 200 acre farm. Could I sail to Ireland right now and when I get to shore, be like, "This land is mine!"?

@@emilywallace4247FDR is on the dime and this liberal Tennessean wholly disagrees with the removal of Jackson from the $20 for the reasons I outlined elsewhere in this thread.
No matter how you feel about people while they're alive, examine your own beliefs and ask yourself if that resting place is still there and whether or not it should be.
@subcitizen2012 Final resting places are just that and should be honored not desecrated. Write an op-ed if you don’t care for someone or their policies, leave their graves/tombs alone….and he is not the only person buried in the cemetery that was vandalized…family and at least one of his slaves are resting there as well…
Given his early life, it’s understandable that he had a dislike of the British and their Native American allies. He had his flaws certainly, but he was a great man who helped make the U.S. a great and powerful nation.

The Rutherford Trace was an especially effective campaign against the Cherokeen in North Carolina and Georgia. They also turned the tide in the revolution.

His Indian removal act was a crime against humanity and even caused Davy Crockett to brake ties with him. He did one thing right. He threatened SC with federal troops to prevent succession and Civil War despite being a Southerner himelf. He also had no illusions that Brits were in any way our "benevolent cousins".
He overrode the Supreme Court, who had favored the Cherokees. Very evil man.

Love him or hate him Jackson expanded the borders of the USA, and made the country powerful militarily and economically. He is our version of the Qing Dynasty emperor Kangxi, who has done the same for modern China and is still revered by the people to this day.
An observation on the Battleof New Orleans and the Battle of Bunker Hill.
The two battles bookend British American conflict and have some similarities that are striking.
In both cases, the British seriously underestimated the danger posed by American marksmanship.
My view is that this was NOT due to any type of stupidity, but was in fact what would have been a sound tactical opinion if they were facing European militia.
The vast majority of militia stink as soldiers, and for nearly all common militia flaws, American militia had them as much as any old world militia. The biggest of these flaws being that militia broke and ran the moment they felt in danger. Even George Washington remarked on this.
Militia, however, were known to be fine for holding a fortified position, up until the moment any part of that fortified position started get overrun.
The big huge different thing about American militia was that they commonly had rifles, and knew how to hit thing at range.
Making American militia in a fortified position VASTLY more dangerous to attack across anything like open ground.
If the British in 1815 had been facing European militia armed with Smoothbore guns and little skill at marksmanship, they would have won.
Add Jackson's skill as a military leader to the rifles in the hands of men that can shoot, and when British walked in face first, the result was inevitable.
Jackson's skill is also evident in that he did not pursue. If he had tried to use his largely militia army in a maneuver battle against the British veterans, they would have slaughtered him. And i am certain he knew it.
Jackson's brilliance is that he got the elite veteran enemy army to attack him in a manner that maximize his own strengths. A huge feat of generalship that cannot be understated.
Dont you think that Jackson's success on the battle could have had something to do with the sheer scale of the earthworks (if I recall the ramparts were stretching for quite a wide area and were mote than 10 feet high), the terrain and the numerous blunders of the british in this particular battle?
If I recall correctly there was no room to manuver for the british and they had to charge/scale the fortifications if they wanted to get to the City itself.
However the detachment responsible for the assault ladders actually FORGOT to bring them along from Camp.
In addition to that the British had no artillery which could have had reduced the US fortifications, why they didnt even have light guns is also a mystery to me.
And last but not least, part of the british plan was to have a detachment of their forces go further up-river, disembark on the opposite river side and then ford over again further up still to outflank the americans.
However they underestimated the strength of the stream and the detachment was severely delayed to the point where they couldnt affect the battle at all.
Not discrediting the US Militiamen's marksmenship (though obviously rifled hunting muskets do help a lot when it comes to accuracy), however I'd argue the fact that the british were unable to actually succed in any noteable aspect of their battleplan prior to their commander getting killed and then failing to adapt afterwards surely was the majority of the reason for the british failure.
Meh
@MajorCoolD
Good points, and perhaps my say that the British 'would have won' if the American militia had been armed with Smoothbore guns and less trained in accuracy is an over statement.
But I will stand by my contention that commanders familiar with facing European Smoothbore guns held by poorly trained troops could make 'tactically significant' mistakes facing American militia.
Marksmanship was actually looked down upon in British military doctrine until at least after WWI.
Jackson built a fortified position with cannon on a Canal bank. The British attacked frontally across open ground. The attack was poorly prepared and went away. The British commander Major General Pakenham was killed leading the attack. Bad generalship against Jackson's sensible defence.
I read somewhere, if I remember correctly, that Cassius Clay was a descendant of Henry Clay . I guess I could ask Google.🤷
8 year rein of terror? Give me a break. Of course the trail of tears was horrific but he wasn't responsible or aware of the degree of how widespread of hate where troops in position of high rank in our militia's in charge of the native American removal. Many stories were rampant among the young soldiers about how barbaric they were. And some were true. I'm sure it went both ways.

😂😂😂 Impressed with a plantation where unspeakable horrors took place, that's rich.
At his death Jackson had an inventory of 161 slaves, and he is known to have been a cruel slave owner.

You realize it wasn't the British people we fighting, but their tyrannical king. Most of the early colonizers and our leaders in America were British.

"8 Year Reign of Terror" - so what acts of terra-ism (deliberate misspell) did he commit? As I bopped along the video, I merely saw a typical American antebellum guy.

Jackson along with Washington and Lincoln form the cadre of my favorite POTUSs. Jackson conducted several successful military campaigns, but my favorite is his success at New Orleans in 1814. The War of 1812 had already been called for lack of British interest, but Jackson decided to show the Redcoats who burned the WH in DC that there was an USofA general who couldefeat the British in a set piece battle. Not only did he whip the British Army, but he defeated the troops and officers that defeated Napoleon at Waterloo! His battle with the national bank and the national debt that Hamilton wanted to create to fund the nation through it to bring US into the European stage to make US a world power was epic. The fight against the federalism of A Hamilton made him a hero in my book. The recession was inevitable and not something to blame Jackson. His reaction to his would be assassin endears me to him even more. A fellow Tennesean near and dear to my heart.
@ronaldharding3927 Fellow Tennessean here. I completely agree.
I am really torn on Lincoln. He was a truly mixed bag. He had the potential to be a great man.
But, the Constitution was created and composed to protect the power of the states over that of the Federal government.
He was for tariffs that crippled the South and propped up the North, which gave even more power to the super wealthy at the expense of the dirt poor.
New Orleans was in January 1815....after the war was over, and 5 1/2 months BEFORE Waterloo.
If it had been afterwards, (impossible due to the end of the war) then maybe Arthur Wellesley would have been available.
Hardly a set piece battle. An assault on a heavily defended position(artillery), with a lack of siege ladders. A battle in open ground would have been more like the Bladensburg "Races". 😅
At: adventussaxonum448, reread the history, dude. It was in 1814, and it wasn't a set piece battle. It was a run down the Mississippi dragging cannon and marshaling forces to outmaneuver and defeat the troops that defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. Jackson is one of the greatest tacticians this part of the world ever produced.
He was respected by Native Americans and DC as well. The Nstive Americans called him, Old Hickory, because he was tough hard nut to Crack. He subdued all the SE tribes from the southern tip of Florida all across the TN & MS valleys. One of the best general officers this nation has ever produced. Are you jealous much?
