Jackson-The American Hero

Andrew Jackson, born into poverty, knew how it drew the life out of Americans. Determined at a young age and filled with ambitions that could not be contained by poverty. With the death of his father at an early age, he had to drop out of education, which would have further his ambitions. To help his younger brother and beloved mother, he served at an early age for the country he so loved. A faithful soldier that rose in the ranks and never cowering to defeat as he was wounded in the head by an enemy and beaten in jailed. He refused to give up his loyalty to his country and strong-willed for the union. He met obstacle after obstacle in the middle of his career, his beloved mother passed. Stricken with grief he sought love from a lovely woman who reminded him of his beloved mother. As a military man, he survived poverty and gain a reputation and wealth.

His presidency was about the people who were forgotten because he was one of them. He ran because he embodied the image of Washington and was favored as his successor. He used his wit and demeanor and humor to enlighten his fellow politicians. He led with a firm hand and a compelling agenda. He chose his vice to figure out the technicalities of policy and diplomacy, a witty man as himself who grew up intelligently and appraised by Washington's close allies. He was ready to answer the call for change, to be rational in his execution, and to legislate and be judicial in his desire to strengthen the American Way. And in his pursuit for the American Way, he was daunted by the big banks. He saw the inception of debtors' prison enslaving Americans into debt for cheap labor. He first tried to negotiate with them but they refused. He crushed their will and freed Americans by taking away their power built on greed and pride. He called it unjust and debilitating to freedom what the big banks were doing to Americans. His just anger enacted Congress to build governance for the big banks to dismantle their hold on Americans. He freed Americans and politicians who relied on their money to operate their livelihood. He held the presidency to ensure that the country did not return to cultivating poverty and stigma. He made it his business to protect the economy from the sins of money and provide for the people a path of economic redemption. The debt must be regulated to strengthen future growth. Regulations must be there to ensure the path of equality and freedom.

Jackson sought to expand the union's power. He sought to give it a vision. He knew the weaknesses of the presidency, preserving normalcy and compromise but also believed in the power of the executive to execute justice and restore order to Americans. He was criticized and cursed for his mindset even mocked as a king however he subdued the anger of his opponents because he knew greatness lies in knowledge and action. The President has to be knowledgeable and the President has to be swift in action. The war over policies and diplomacy is fought and won by eloquence. A President must win over the favor of the people and know their enemies meeting them with equal passion to fulfilled their job. He believed that a Vice-President is a necessary leader to hope and wait for when the American people forget and to remind them of their country's glory and purpose by running. Presidents are pillars in the American Democracy. They rise by their strength to preserve and protect. They fall by their lack of providence towards the people. History tells their story yet results interpreted add new meaning and understanding to the ties that bring Americans together.
