5 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson had multiple slashes on his face and hands. This is because Jackson was ordered to shine a British soldier’s boot but, deliberately disobeyed. This is when his hate of the British commenced.

He is the only president to completely remove the national debt. He mandated that public land be purchased only with gold or silver (specie circular). However, this didn’t work out very well for his successor, Martin Van Buren. It resulted in a depression that was blamed on Van Buren not Jackson.

Jackson in his final years of the presidency had an assassination attempt on his life. When the man tried to fire at Jackson, the gun misfired. Jackson proceeded to start beating the man with his cane. The man tried to shoot Jackson again with another pistol and once again the pistol misfired. Jackson continued to beat the man. Eventually, Jackson’s security measure had to pull the president off of the wanna-be assassin to keep Jackson from killing him.

Though he is known for the Trail of Tears or the Indian Removal Act, Jackson actually adopted a Creek Indian boy named Lyncoca. Jackson raised him as well as educated him throughout his life.

Jackson had a pet parrot known as Poll. Poll had to be removed from Jackson’s funeral because he kept shouting obscenities at the mourners.
