Yeah, that's me. Geekiest looking guy ever, right?
Anyway, I did NOT drink any of that beer, I was just holding onto it for one of my family members, I swear officer.
Fun fact: In Ireland, the drinking age is 18.

I noticed that, too.

JJM, historians are taught to see history in "gray" rather then "black and white" as many historical events had good and bad effects, as well as the people who caused those events. Just like Andrew Jackson. Yes, he did betray his native allies and force them out of their homes and historians do not excuse that, but there is always a flip side to something or someone and Jackson is no exception. He is the reason that the British were driven off for the final time in the War of 1812 (the Battle of New Orleans), and also made it possible for the common man (oh, like you and me and most everyone else) to vote, rather then being limited to white, christian, landowners. Historians see the give AND the take, not just one over the other. Historians make it their life's work to understand history for a reason, so that pseudo historians and alternate historians are not taken seriously by most people.

I know what I am talking about. Yes at that time just about everyone had a grudge towards indians but honesty was also considered very important at that time. Much more than it is now.
I'm not getting into an argument with a mental midget. People much more educated than us can not even agree on this so I'm not expecting any different here.
What do historians know that we don't. If they think good of Jackson they sure must not know there facts.
I am studying to become a historian. Historians are some of the smartest people on the planet. Why? Because they need to know a lot about a lot of different things, such as biology, geology, English, culture, math, and science. There are few people on this planet that can hold up a lens and I will call them smart, but a historian is a smart person and their job is to KNOW THE FACTS. Okay, so do not call yourself better then a whole field you know nothing about.
I'f I met a historian who spells like you I'd be a little worried about the information he's telling me.
I'll fix it.
