Oh yeah, and the piece about General Andrew Jackson slaughtering the British in the Battle of New Orleans was cool. That battle was instrumental in he winning the presidency.
I guess that was back in the day when to be president required one to have also gone to war; not The Reserves.

Jackson was certainly a mixed bag. His efusal to continue the National Bank was a huge plus, but his policy against the indians wasn't exceeded until Lincoln.
