First Person Andrew Jackson
My name is Andrew Jackson and I was the seventeenth president of the United States of America. I was in office from March 4th, 1829 to March 4th, 1837. I also was an American soldier and a General in the United States Army. I was born in the Carolinas where I became a frontier lawyer and married my beloved wife Rachel Donelson. I also signed the Indian Removal Act which displaced nearly 50,000 native americans from our soil. I also own a slave owner. I own around 160 slaves. They help with my plantation that I overlook. Without these slaves I could never be as successful. I could never be out doing all that manual labor by myself. I am a strong supporter of slavery. All aspects of it too. I love the free labor. I treat them well too. They live on the plantation and get food when needed. If they misbehave...well then they get punished. The people up north do not like slavery. To that I ask why? What can be better than the crazy amount of profit that stems from free labor. I mean hell it is the most profitable method of business. In fact I love it so much that one time I payed 10 dollars for every extra lashing a runaway slave got. These people need to be put in their place and I stand by that.
