The Salacious Life of Andrew Jackson

For my History Concepts and Theories class I have to make a 10 day unit plan, and my period so happens to cover "Old Hickory." Anyway, Me and Renee were watching this biography on Andrew Jackson. It was the most slanted bio I have ever witnessed on anyone.

They painted Jackson as a true American patriot, a common man's man, and an attractor of people who are involved in the strangest scandals I've ever heard. Everything from duels and hookers to the Bank of America, adultery, and bigamy.

What every happened to reliable historical research? This thing was like a wild, sensation seeking reporter.
