What do you guys think of him
Badass and shit.
He was a shitty president though.
First populist candidate. Fighting the bank was a mistake. Genociding the Natives might have been a bad and unconstitutional thing to do but hey, it secured the south.
Also, he wouldn't want to be on the 20 anyway.

I always confuse him with jefferson.

Crazy cunt, shit president. Lelbertarians masturbate to this pic of him daily
>>1060149
Why would Lelbertarians support him when he defied the Supreme Court?

"Muh banks!"
>>1060129
Literally nothing good about his presidency
>>1060224
Well he got rid of the national debt and fought for the common (white) man (and you have to start somewhere)

Andrew Jackson set up a economic crisis later though
Interesting trivia - he was the first president who wasn't a Freemason.
He removed natives like kebab and killed some Britbongs defending my home state so yeah I like him

As a libertarian, I can tell you that most still hate him. He was a fuckstain. There are worse statist policies than the banks.
>>1060129
He did absolutely nothing wrong
>muh defying the supreme court
None of the actions he took were in direct conflict with his constitutional powers, he was only censured due to banker pawn butthurt and it was later dismissed.
The bank's existence in itself conflicted with our interests and gave them an unfair anti-capitalist monopoly which they abused regularly. Not to mention a large chunk of the stocks were held by foreign interests. Why in the world would you give a private bank with PRIVATE interests a monopolistic power over the economy like that?
>he caused a collapse
He "collapsed" the central bank alright, but not the economy, it wasn't until Specie Circular(3 years later) that the economy as a whole was impacted significantly. Even then only exploitative banks who speculated too much, regularly gave out funny money and engaged in lending WAY more than they possessed were affected. Allot of the criticism for getting rid of the central bank stemmed from people saying they kept local speculation to a minimum but even the they did a shit job at that. Specie circular basically accomplished most of this without the baggage and corruption of the central bank. This was probably the most genius way he got his desired affect of reforming the economy without being unconstitutional. The vast majority of the depressions were after his term when van Buren took over and undid half of what he had done.
>muh injuns
They we're going to be displaced by the locals eventually, if he prevented them from doing so there would be civil conflict. Not to mention several tribes regularly raided colonists. If he didn't step in and get them to relocate they would have been wiped out by the states. Only the foolish tribes failed to see that it was the federal government protecting them from the state locals, plenty of the rational tribes made agreements and migrated without problems early on. It wasn't until some of the other resisted that they went through hardships.
