Lin-Manuel Miranda
Daniel Day Lewis
Kevin Spacey as John C Calhoun
Idris Elba as Andrew Jackson
meme racist who did nothing
cast a movie about james polk instead
7 hour long epic of Andrew Jackson doing nothing but slaughtering indians
>>67131187
I want to see an Andrew Jackson movie starring Day-Lewis that depicts him as the bloodthirsty, Indian-raping psychopath he was.
I could see it as a tragi-comedy with quirky moments (like AJ beating his assassin with a stick) but ultimately boils down to a man hardened by reality just trying to make an impact

What in the actual fuck was that bit with the cheese about
>>67131231
He didn't really have a problem with Indjuns per se. He adopted an orphaned child from one of the groups he genocided and regarded the kid as his own son. This is classic tribal warfare behavior, which is appropriate because Jackson was Scots-Irish; a group very similar in its war customs to Injuns themselves. Raiding, bombastic behavior on the battlefield, adopting the surviving women and children of defeated enemies, utter ruthlessness to the combat aged males and no compunction about seizing all their land and assets, etc. are all hallmarks of tribal warfare. People misunderstand Jackson because they don't realize he basically was an Injun
George Clooney as AJ
ted danson would be perfect

Sean Penn is playing him in an HBO adaptation of "American Lion"

WE WUZ INDIAN KILLERS N SHEIT.

He was a good friend...

>his parrot had to be removed from his funeral because it swore too much
holy fuck
Also DD Lewis or Anthony Hopkins to play Jackson
>>67137656
Yes and I already wonder what's next. John Adams was great but HBO changed a lot since then. I hope they show AJ as a comple figure who had some good ideas, some bad ones. Mostly bad but I agree fuck banks.
>>67132069
Sounds like an utter cunt and reprehensible human being. To think that Obama served in the same position as monsters like this
>>67137991
But you have to admit...fuck banks.
>>67137991
Both are kind of crappy like most American presidents but Jackson was a little better.

Meme invasor who did nothing and his last words were to his wife
>>67138138
He was a total scum. But a miniseries about Mexican-American War with Polk as a subplot would be just right.
>all these America haters ITT
Jackson is Murica personified.
Enjoy slavery to the money masters. Enjoy being sacked by the redcoats. Enjoy not having industry.
>b-but muh Indians
>>67137991
That's how he made such a good President!

Andrew Jackson is one of the guys who made it Democratic policy not to spend federal money on internal improvements like roads, canals, ports, etc... etc... because he thought those useful improvements that would help American's commerce & convenience would disproportionately benefit the industrious north and decided nobody should have them instead.
>>67138339
And why should the money be invested here instead of other things?
At the time, roads and railroads were already in a state of artificial monetary induced boom that was exposed in the panic of 1837. Massive government investment in them would have been even more overkill.
>>67138339
Why should the federal government concern itself with infrastructure improvements? Isn't that the job of local governments?
>>67138474
>And why should the money be invested here instead of other things?
Like the boondoggle of Indian removal?
Better the money spent in America than funneled overseas to to British banks.
>roads and railroads were already in a state of artificial monetary induced boom.
It wasn't the rails as much as the land, the land that Jackson decreed you could no longer buy in banknotes with caused a huge shrinkage in the money supply, one of the aspects that exacerbated the Panic.
Internal Improvements were a good idea that Jackson & the democrats shat on because they were a sectarian party with sectarian interests.
>>67138548
>Like the boondoggle of Indian removal?
Costed pennies.
>Better the money spent in America than funneled overseas to to British banks.
Not really, Britain stopped throwing money in the US when they understood they couldn't control us banks.
>It wasn't the rails as much as the land, the land that Jackson decreed you could no longer buy in banknotes with caused a huge shrinkage in the money supply, one of the aspects that exacerbated the Panic.
Inflationary scum need not apply. Banknotes were used, they are fine as long as they are promissory notes.
>Internal Improvements were a good idea that Jackson & the democrats shat on because they were a sectarian party with sectarian interests.
Internal improvements happened. If anything investment in it were overkill.
It's been 180 years now. You don't need to be the lobbyist of railroad companies lying about how investing gorillonz of dollars of public money in them is the obviously enlightened choice.
>>67138275
Based AJ knew what the fuck was up
If he was here now, he would be calling the jews out left right and centre. There would be no crash in 2008
>>67138650
Actually there would be a massive crash in 2008 but the nose would be exposed and financial bandwagon would be prevented in the future.
Of course banking shills will insist that cutting their manipulations would bring the apocalypse. Andrew Jackson handled the remedy and it was not pleasant, so many are still butthurt two ago after.
>>67138633
It cost many more millions than it was suppose to. I don't have the exact figures in front of me, but it was an expensive boondoggle. It most certainly did not 'cost pennies'.
>Not really, Britain stopped throwing money in the US when they understood they couldn't control us banks.
What are you trying to say? Money spent in America doesn't benefit Americans more because.... the british couldn't control the country's financial system? You don't have any idea what you're talking about.
>Banknotes were used
They were until the Specie Exchange act, an order by Jackson to no longer accept banknotes as payment for federal land, only Gold & silver. The result was a massive outpouring of specie from American banks, into to National Treasury and from there to the Banks of Great Britain to finance Jackson's hardon for paying off the national debt.
>Internal improvements happened.
"it happened anyway so the obstacles put in its path shouldn't be acknowledge for being inimical to progress"
>If anything investment in it were overkill.
Uninformed speculation from someone who has never read a book on the period.
