Do you think Andrew Jackson was the worst person to ever be President?

I don't mean he was the worst President ever, but he was a terrible person. I mean he basically tried to commit a genocide of the Native Americans.

    He didn't try, he succeeded.

    He may have been the worst president in terms of how many people he got killed.

    At least FDR only put people in camps. He didn't march them on a death march.

    no he paid off the nat'l debt and got rid of the central bank:

    Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, I will rout you out!

    To answer your question, the race would have to be between jackson, wilson and lbj. There were worse presidents than any of these three but each was in some form a desipicable person.

  • Before Andrew "Old Hooligan" Jackson became the president, the Jeffersonian Republicans were on a path of orderly progress toward Abolition of slavery, as the rest of the civilized world had done.

    Then the renegade and hoodlum named Andrew Jackson, a backwards hillbilly from Tennessee, broke up the Jeffersonian Republican party, and he became the president. He started his own party called the Democratic Party, which still exists today.

    Jackson was a slave owner. He owned hundreds of slaves, who grew cotton on his 1,000 acre plantation. He prohibited the post office from delivering Abolitionist literature. He made a gag rule in Congress that prohibited any discussion of legislation to restrict slavery. Jackson and his pro slavery goons turned the USA away from the path to Abolition, and onto the path to Civil War.

    Of course, we all know about his atrocity against the Native Americans, called the Trail of Tears.

    Glenn Beck insisted this man be named "Wilson". I surely do not know.
