He was an ardent abolitionist, a campaigner for civil rights (in the 1800s!), a champion of education, did a lot of anti-corruption work. Heck, he wrote mathematical proofs in his free time while serving as a senator. He didn't even want to be president, he just ended up president because literally everyone liked and respected him.

What about the controversy when he sent Senator Nermal to Abu Dhabi?

Several people tried to kill Jackson, fucker wouldn't go down.
WH Harrison would have been one of our worst presidents, so dodged a bullet there.
I don't know much about McKinley
A dude once ambushed Andrew Jackson when he was a pallbearer at a funereal. He brought out two single shot pistols, which had about a 1% chance of misfiring back then.
Levels the first one. Misfire.
Levels the second one. Misfire.
Jackson proceeded to beat the shit out of him with his cane until his security personnel pulled him off his assailant.

So, I have been listening to Blank Check from the very beginning.
Folks, I just listened to the excerpts from Griffin Newman's "Back in Blackface (Or, Can You Minstrel Show Me the Way to Racism Street)" high-school essay.
Whoof...

basically the thing you gotta know about jackson and duelling is that, well.
Pistol duelling was this mostly-performative thing. You usually weren't actually trying to kill the other person. Just going through the act was usually enough to signify that you're putting your life on the line over whatever the issue was and if one of you died, oh well but usually you'd both just walk away with your honor.
jackson was the asshole who shot to kill, every time.
This Tweet is probably a better sales pitch than I could manage, but I will try and put some of own feelings down nonetheless
I love music, but I cannot make music. I love music, but I struggle to talk about music because I feel like I lack the language to do so. I can sometimes describe how music makes me feel, but I cannot articulate why I feel that way. Not the way I can with television, with movies, with video games. So I have a deep, profound appreciation for somebody that can talk about music in a way that not only tells me how they feel about music, but tells me how they think about music. That helps me hear something in a new way, that helps me recontextualize something I thought I knew.
Hanif Abdurraqib is a fucking phenomenal poet, who also has a palpable love and nigh-spiritual appreciation for music. His work on this season of this podcast* is educational, and moving, and gosh I adore it. I would normally be repelled by a deep dive into a year from the 80s, because I thought I hated the 80s, but I'm learning as I listen that I actually hated what I was told the 80s were. What the monoculture's memories of the 80s were. What the flattened, sanitized, convenient stories were. Abdurraqib is connecting dots I never would've, never could've on my own.
And it's also just a really pleasant listen. Nobody's shouting at anybody, nobody's talking over anybody. It's just a contemplative-but-passionate look at music, at stories, that mattered then and mattered now.
It's really good.
*There are previous seasons of the podcast, but I have not heard those yet. I showed up for Abdurraqib.

Point of order, one of the people to pull Jackson off Lawrence was Congressman Davy Crockett.
Just wanted to add that as it is wild. Also both pistols were found to be correctly loaded and working and fired immediately when tested after the attack. For both to misfire right then was calculated at 125,000 to 1

Why I should be fair to President Garfield I am unsure I will ponder it

Especially President Hip-hop Garfield from a 90s t-shirt
