Do you know what one of the first acts by George Washington was as president? To crush a revolt by farmers who were having land repossessed by the state after being unable to pay for the land during the Revolutionary War bcz the US did not pay them for serving in the war.

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.
Jackson was legit for that reason alone.
