In this new century Andrew Jackson has gone into the historical dog house as
historians now give emphasis to Jackson's defense of slavery and the removal
of the Cherokee from their homelands. Yet this admittedly simplistic short
subject will show why Jackson is on our money. He didn't get there by
accident.
The short concentrates on two things where Andrew Jackson saved this country, the Battle of New Orleans against British invasion and as president his stand against secession in the nullification crisis.
Hugh Sothern who played Jackson in Cecil B. DeMille's The Buccaneer repeats the part here and well.
Short and simplitic nevertheless reminds us why Jackson is important in our history in a positive way.
