Andrew Jackson was a man of the white people. He was prejudiced against Indians because of an Indian attack from his childhood, and it was during his presidency that the Cherokee were betrayed and sent on the infamous "Trail of Tears." In the politically correct 1990's there were some who demanded Jackson's removal from the $20 bill. Jackson was a great general and an American hero, but he was a highly flawed hero. He lacked the education and elitist background of previous US Presidents, which made common people identify with him, but his administration proved to be corrupt nonetheless.
