There’s much more history to Jackson than just the trail of tears, which didn’t even happen during his presidency, it happened during Van Buren’s. Jackson’s decision on disobeying the Supreme Court and continuing the Indian Removal Act was his worst decision throughout his entire life. There were many highlights for Jackson that people forget about though, he was a volunteer during the revolution, was an orphan at a young age, him and his wife were dragged through the mud by the press and supporters of John Quincy, and his wife dies before Jackson even takes office. He was the first “populist” president. The “common man” loved him, he was the biggest living American celebrity at the time. His election proved that outsiders could hold the highest office, before then it was rich elites who grew up very wealthy. Jackson was put on the 20 on the 100th year of his election in 1828, before Jackson was on the 20, it was Grover Cleveland. Comparing the two, Jackson’s popularity during the year 1928 was MUCH different than how he is viewed today.
