So how was it serving under Stonewall Jackson? Oh, I'm sorry. I meant Andrew Jackson.
That Peggy Eaton Affair took up far too much valuable time. That assasination attempt also made him much more paranoid for the rest of his term but Old Hickory persevered.
God help you if you challenged him or his honor. He killed the Second Bank of the US and smashed Congressional disapproval of Martin Van Buren by appointing him as his vice -president when they turned him back as ambassador to England. Van Buren suceeded him as president as a continuing thumb in the eye to Congress. He got what he wanted and as long as you knew that, you could work with him just fine.
How was your tenure under Andrew Johnson?
