It's kinda unfortunate, it's all anyone talks about and as a result everyone's really ignorant.

relationships with China were softened

I know him because I used to be very into foreign relations.

He also ended Vietnam, which was probably what really put him in office.

He was also a hardass on the various groups engaging in bombings from the late 60s.

It's actually very disappointing how little most Americans know of their own history.

I struggle to find undergrads who can say anything about Jackson besides "trail of tears."

Which is very bothersome because he was a very important president who wildly reshaped the country in the time afterwards.

And like him or not, it's important to know his place.

Andrew Jackson?

Yeah.

he was badass

some assassin tried to kill him

grabbed his gun

failed

grabbed a second gun

failed

and then Andrew Jackson beat him with his walking cane

Andrew is awesome

😂 f00kin legend

Andrew Jackson was perhaps the first "People's President"

populist

But the unis have a thing against that kind of thing so they just call him racist and emphasize the Trail of Tears at the expense of everything else.

...Coincidentally, I think understanding Trump requires understanding Jackson.

So the treatment is probably not accidental.

History is a SJW converged discipline.

History is a set of lies agreed upon

speaking of forgotten presidents

i think william Harrison's legacy is overlooked so badly 😦

people don't know about all the things he did

What'd he do you think is significant?

Admittedly, I'm enough of a libertrian to be fond of Coolidge for doing very little.

he died after 33 days into his presidency

he didn't get to do anything 😂

on a cold rainy day he came without an overcoat, on horseback to his inauguration

held the longest inauguration speech in US history

then caught Pneumonia

and died

har har.

😉

Unfortunatley history does tend to have a leftist slant to it

In my vietnam war class we spent as much time on the protests as we did on the war itself
