Speeches of Messrs. Hayne and Webster in the United States Senate on the Resolution of Mr. Foot, January, 1830 Book

Mr Davis is one of my favorite Biographers writing about one of my top five favorite presidents. Andrew Jackson was a man with an indomitable will of mind. The body was weak, but the mind and soul were not, with a strong sense of honor. When he thought something was right, there would be no stopping him. a strict disciplinarian and higher sence of duty. He gave an order, you did it or suffered the consequences, there were no grey areas just black and white. He was the only President to fight a duel and killed a man defending the honor of his wife. He had no formal schooling, Yet he was a lawyer and a hero General without any formal military training, yet he defeated the Indian Nations of the Alabama, Georgia and Florida regions. He attacked and was Victorious against Spain in Florida. He was in command at New Orleans and where the U.S. defeated the Brittish Army troops recently victorious Over Napoleon. His Presidency was filled with controversy,conflict and scrutiny over his treatment of the Indian tribes, His dealings with the bank of the United States. Here is a man that was thought to be an uneducated back woodsman from Tennesee to Become the most powerful man in the country. His formal education might of been lacking but through his indomitable will he defeated the Educated Political Giants of his time.
