The way we dealt with Japanese-Americans was also shite show. A lot of those were tax paying American citizens, who were forcibly taken out of their homes and forced to live in camps.



Agreed, it definitely wasn't pretty, but it is still not comparable to Indian-American relations.

Jackson was a D*ck and ran New Orleans like his own miniature French Empire. He was one of the most abrasive presidents to sit in office.

Let's also remember that he threatened military intervention when SC threatened to secede in 1832 during the "Nullification Crisis" hurting his image with Southerners at the time.

His dismantling of the Bank of the US hurt his stature in the North
