He also helped it by unconstitutionally cleaning the debt off the books.
On a side note while he was a judge, He sent an arrest warrant out for a guy. The guy wouldn't let the sheriff bring him into jail. Jackson heard of this and lost his top. He grabbed his pistol and went after the guy. He found the guy and pulled his pistol, the guy gave up and came to jail. When they asked the guy why he gave up to Jackson and not any of the other officers, He said Jackson had shoot in his eyes. The others didn't.
What did Jackson do that was unconstitutional to clear the debt??
Jackson probably would have lost the congressional battle to end the central bank but the head of the bank bragged publicly that he was more powerful than the president of the United States and some of the bankers who supported him switched over to support Jackson.
He was definately a firebrand who took some liberties.
A famous songwriter I know was once called by the people up at the Hermatige about playing a fundraiser for them.
He replied, "My ancestors are all one hundred percent Cherokee, what do you think?"
I've wondered at times if Jackson was aware of the history of the Mandan.
At the time of Lewis and Clark's trek to the west coast they came upon a stockaded town on the upper Missouri.
The chief was blond haired and blue eyed and they had Roman coins and other artifacts to prove they came from Europe. They also has some Spanish helmets that proved they had defeated Spanish conquistidors in times past.
Their little city had more people living in it than either St Louis or Washington DC at that time and was a trading center for the Indians and French traders and others.
What came to be known as the Mandan tribe are thought to be Welsh and came over in about the year 1,000 AD, five hundred years before the more famous Columbus.
Being beseiged by the Angles and Saxons they left Wales in their boats and eventually landed in Mobile Bay where the then chief burned the ships so they couldn't return.
They migrated up through Alabama and then migrated up the Tennessee river over the years and were eventually soundly defeated by the strong Chrerokee tribe which vastly outnumbered them, by the time of Lewis and Clark they were living on the upper Missouri.
Alexander Thom wrote a book titled 'children of first man' about them but isn't kind at all, he was married to a Shawnee woman and the Shawnee hated Europeans more than any other tribe and tried to unite all other tribes against European settlers.
