False. Andrew Jackson violated the Constitution at will, and pushed for democracy by pushing Congress to extend the vote to all White men, not just landowners.

Andrew Jackson expanded our territory hugely, stopped multiple aggressors and beat them back into submission, paved the way for full settlement of the nation, destroyed the central bank for 80 years, and beat motherfuckers to death with a cane.
Polk did good stuff too, but he was no Jackson. Jackson expanded ou territory by submitting and removing the violent teepeeniggers and got florida and defended(prepresidency) us in the war of 1812 and paved the way for more westward expansion. A lot of states(territories) were made habitable by his actions.
Also some dude shot at him and he beat tf out of him. Total badass.
I only recall once.
>and pushed for democracy by pushing Congress to extend the vote to all White men, not just landowners.
This is the only black mark on his record.
Don’t you mean Polk? Jackson was instrumental in getting us Florida for free, at least.
Also some dude shot at him and he beat tf out of him. Total badass.
And that's how it should be.
If there's an invasion you do want the White men without land to fight to defend the fatherland, don't you?
Political power comes from fighting in wars, not from having a piece of paper with your name on it that says you "own" a piece of land.
