But, not this time. Andrew Jackson the white president for the next 4 years decided he wants what is ours. He has started sweeping everyone and everything east of the Mississippi river, just because he wanted the land, and if we wouldn’t willingly walk away from what’s ours, he will make us at gunpoint. In this time, families got split up and people died. I was one of the lucky ones. My father heard the news before they got to us, so for 23 days we’ve been living place to place, anyway to not have to leave what’s ours, remain safe, and alive. Before this time, everyone was so …show more content…

Days went by and it had felt like months, all we could think about was my brother. We had to get him back. Suddenly my dad did what any father would do and realized that he had to put himself on the line for his son, he was going to make himself bate. We followed in the direction that the Americans went for hours, and when we finally caught them dad laid out the game plan. When we saw fox, my father would be seen as a distraction, then would run. We would make sure fox escaped, and if my father returned, well. That was up to him. The time came for when we found fox, he looked rough, like he hadn’t eaten in days. He probably hadn’t though. It was game time. My father jumped out of nowhere and ran so fast, I don’t think the Americans could have caught him if they were on horses, so far that my mother and I lost him. We yelled foxes name, and he heard us and ran as fast as he could to us, he was home. We went back to our grounds from previously, and while we had my brother back, we felt just as empty without my father

    Walking into the barn, Jackson was greeted by Bandit shaking his head and neighing at him. Clipping the lead rope to his halter, he tied him to the ring on the wall while talked to the horse in a whispered voice for a few minutes, venting out his frustrations of the day, since Bandit only wanted his attention, which he was completely willing to give and the only one who wasn’t asking him if he wanted to talk. Given his friend’s reaction a few minutes prior, Chief watched from a few feet away, hoping to stay out of the colonel’s way and out of his line of fire.

    Andrew Jackson vetoed the bill re-chartering the Second Bank in July 1832 by arguing that in the form presented to him it was incompatible with “justice,” “sound policy” and the Constitution. The bank’s charter was unfair, Jackson argued in his veto message, because it gave the bank considerable, almost monopolistic, market power, specifically in the markets that moved financial resources around the country and into and out of other nations. That market power increased the bank’s profits and thus its stock price, “which operated as a gratuity of many millions [of dollars] to the stockholders,” who, Jackson claimed, were mostly “foreigners” and “our own opulent citizens.” He then suggested that it would be fairer to most Americans to create a wholly government-owned bank instead, or at least to auction the Second Bank of the US’s monopoly privileges to the highest bidder.

    Chapter 1 In the broad field of American biography, there are found but few names more prominent than those of Generals Andrew and Thomas J. Jackson. As these remarkable men represent different generations, and belong to different periods of history, their similar traits of character are not distinctly discernable by a casual observer. It is believed that by contrasting them a nearer view will be obtained that may prove interesting and instructive to all intelligent readers. Being descended from the same stock, the striking similarity of character that General Thomas J. Jackson, or General Stonewall Jackson, as he is best known, bears to General Andrew Jackson is doubtless due to their common origin.

    Although Jackson gives a lot of his writing to defining the transformative tradition, I feel that we may not have had the time to fully discuss it in class. I think the transformative tradition is super rad, and I would like to present my favorite part of what Jackson had to say about the transformative tradition. On page 134, Jackson speaks about Socrates. “Socrates personifies the speaker after truth.

However, physicalist believe that all aspects of the world consist of only physical facts, that can be explained by physical means, physical objects, or physical properties.
