Where is the proof that president Andrew Jackson was half black?
There wouldn't be any. Andrew Jackson was not half black. His father was of black heritage, meaning his ancestors came from a race considered black by the people of the United States. Andrew Jackson had a brother who was of a much darker complexion than other members of his immediate family. In the U.S., you are considered black if you have one drop of black blood in you. Take Barack Obama for example: he is half black (his father) and half white (his mother). He is considered black because of his paternal line. However, he was raised in a white home with white values. Saying he is the first black president in the US is misleading. He is the first half black president who acknowledges his black half. Jackson was also a slave owner, owning up to 300 slaves during his life. If he was black, or even half black, this would not have been possible.
What are some differences between Andrew Jackson and Barack Obama?
For one thing, Andrew Jackson was white, and Barack Obama is black. For another, Andrew Jackson was not formally educated the way students are today: he seems to have attended a local one-room schoolhouse and then apprenticed to learn the law, after a career in the military; Barack Obama attended public and private schools and received both a Bachelor's degree and a Law degree from two well-known universities before he became a lawyer. Andrew Jackson began serving in the military at age 13; Barack Obama did not serve in the military. Also, Andrew Jackson was married twice, while Barack Obama has only been married once.
