which Jackson killed all the indians? I vote for the other one

There was only one Jackson (Andrew).

He had his flaws, but IMO one of the top 10 U.S. presidents.

Jackson is tough, because his flaw is really, really glaring. Genocide is tough to ignore. It's true that he opposed the national bank, but it still seems like he did it in a somewhat poor manner.

For all that he argued for states rights, he did force SCar to accept national tarrifs, and IMO helped set the stage for the civil war.

All in all, I say [censored] him.
