Very strong symbolism, and a really strong sense of how you felt while writing it. The tempo of the poem doesn't carry through the whole time, but that's something you can fix. A good start. Seems like you have talent so keep at it.

I know I dont
You're speaking for an innumerable populous that you don't even know.a case of pot kettle black, perhaps? less than a 1/10th of a percent voted to have harriet tubman put on the $20. if anyone is seriously considering this in the treasury office we should have a referendum

« on: May 12, 2015, 10:08:14 PM »-snip-ok first of all, a president relied on his party for advice - call the police! secondly, yes Samuel Startwout was not a good choice but i wasn't going to cherry pick my sources. the banks were not a good idea. if you've ever studied them you'd recognize that they held too much influence and prevented the state banks from giving citizens decently sized loans because of the threats of the national bank.
and the wikipedia article is based on historian's opinions of the presidents so it does hold significant validity. Jackson is a top 10 president
edit:
this was still a time when most citizens were not comfortable with a large national government. he was only doing what they wanted. that's why he had such high ratings. because he did what the people wanted.

« on: May 12, 2015, 09:33:31 PM »a spoils system where he awards friends with political office, the closure of the second national bank, and causing a deep recession are not the interests of the people.dude what are you even talking about. Jackson created the rotation-in-office specifically to avoid nepotism and he closed the bank because it was way too strong and held ridiculous influence over all other banks in the nation. that banking system was not effective.
jackson comes off as somebody who had his own political career in heart rather than the people's interests.
"Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and George Washington are consistently ranked at the top of the lists. Often ranked just below those Presidents are Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt. The remaining places in the top ten are often rounded out by Harry S. Truman, Woodrow Wilson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, James K. Polk, and Andrew Jackson."

Andrew Jackson was objectively a good president. He did what the people wanted. He had their interests at heart. That is what democracy is all about.
Today's values do not align very much with the values of that day, but that doesn't make him a bad president.
