MatteusMaximus, Andrew Jackson used to beat people with his cane alot. He would become very angry at whatever he perceived a slight or disrespect. It's why his nickname was "Old Hickory"

if it was a flintlock, the humidity would definitely have been a factor, as well as an unsharpened flint or a frizzen needing hardening, they can be finicky if not cared for properly

MatteusMaximus, When it comes to US History, you have to read legit books. Not just school books. Read biographies from trusted sources.

Joker, he was tried and found not guilty by reason of insanity. He spent the rest of his life in an asylum.

10bwc, our children don't go to school anymore. the attend indoctrination centers where they are lied to, practice for tests that don't mean anything . true, honest academics has been replaced with FEELINGS.

[bobbo16], I live in Nashville Tennessee, and am of native American descent. and it frosts my pumpkin to see The Hermitage being touted as a sacred shrine to Andrew Jackson, a murderer

I wonder how Andrew Jackson treated all the Native Americans as he forced thousands to relocate from south eastern America to march in the Trail of Tears to the West and Midwest. He likely had a saber rather than a cane then.

Bismarck also did something similar to his would-be-assassin, beating the stuffing out of him with his cane.

kalestem23, guns were hand-made back then. Many of which are still being used today and can knock a squirrel out of a tree.

isnt it interesting how the turmoils back in history are all the same. Poor people trying to rise up to their oppressors. isn't it funny how history keeps repeating itself. i think they call that insanity - on the part of us commoners. Maybe we have been going about this all wrong!
