@GrayGhost Andy Jackson fought the Indians who were bitter over our moving into their territorial lands and hunting grounds, pushing them out. As for Abraham Lincoln, he had the most difficult job of all, trying to guide a deeply divided country which was at war with itself (A house divided against itself cannot stand).
Re-read your history books - and with an open mind and understanding. Remember, our former Presidents in that era worked with what they had and the social mores of the times and development of this country. We do any of our previous leaders a grave disservice judging them by today's standards.
