From the March 13, 2017, Lebanon (Tennessee) Democrat.
President Trump was to visit Andrew Jackson's Hermitage outside of Nashville on Wednesday before a rally in that city. He becomes the 14th president to visit and the first since Ronald Reagan did in 1982. He will lay a wreath on Jackson's grave. Trump also has placed a picture of Jackson in the Oval Office. All this coming at a time when Jackson is being blackballed by many for owning slaves and his treatment to the Indians. Plus, his picture on the twenty dollar bills is going to be replaced.
I admire President Trump for taking this stance.
Andrew Jackson is a big reason the United States became as strong of a country as it is.
Way to Go, President. --Brock-Perry
