Andrew Jackson is not only a great man, he is a survivor. While he was still quite young, only about 13 or 14, he contracted small pox along with his brother Robert. He was being held in a British Prison camp at the time, and there seemed to be no hope. But young Andrew was a fighter, a survivor some might say. Over the course of a few months his mother nursed him to health, and when he was strong enough she left to tend to other prisoners. She died soon after. Jackson now only about 14, maybe 15, orphaned, and he had just recovered from deadly small pox, but he still kept going. Jackson is a survivor.
Then as if that wasn't enough, Jackson was shot in the chest during a duel with Charles Dickinson, and the bullet was permanently lodged in chest, very close to his heart, for the rest of his life.
So as you can see Andrew Jackson not only survived multiple hard ships, he was a better man for it. We shall not kid ourselves there will be more battles to come, and with Andrew Jackson as our president, America will not only survive, it will prosper from these battles!
So Vote Jackson, Vote for the survivor!
