The History of Andrew Jackson

• Born in a backwoods settlement in the Carolinas
  in 1767, he received sporadic education. But in
  his late teens he read law for about two years,
  and he became an outstanding young lawyer in
  Tennessee. Fiercely jealous of his honor, he
  engaged in brawls, and in a duel killed a man who
  cast an unjustified slur on his wife Rachel.
• In 1824 some state political factions rallied
  around Jackson by 1828 enough had joined "Old
  Hickory" to win numerous state elections and
  control of the Federal administration in
  Washington.

• In 1832 Andrew polled more than 56 percent of
  the popular vote.
• Jackson recommended, as president, to eliminate
  the electoral college.
• Hostile cartoonists portrayed him as King Andrew
  I.

Media Used In the Andrew Jackson Campaign

• When Andrew Jackson ran for president in 1828,
  his opponents tried to label him a "jackass" for
  his populist views and his slogan, "Let the
  people rule." Jackson, however, picked up on
  their name calling and turned it to his own
  advantage by using the donkey on his campaign
  posters. During his presidency, the donkey was
  used to represent Jackson's stubbornness when he
  vetoed re-chartering the National Bank.
• The first time the donkey was used in a political
  cartoon to represent the Democratic party, it was
  again in conjunction with Jackson. Although in
  1837 Jackson was retired, he still thought of
  himself as the Party's leader and was shown
  trying to get the donkey to go where he wanted it
  to go. The cartoon was titled "A Modern Baalim
  and his Ass."

  Jacksons wife for being a slut and a hooker,
  people blew the story with Sarah Palins
  daughters pregnancy way out of proportion. Due to
  the political views of her parents, 17 year old
  daughter, Willow, was forced to marry the boy who
  impregnated her.
