President Andrew Jackson (c. 1844 – 1845)
From heroic presidents to villainous ones, Andrew Jackson (1767 – 1841) pulled himself out of impoverished origins into lawyer renown. He also earned his medals through serving, finally securing his place as the President of the United States. Despite posing as a hero for the common person, there were plenty who labeled him as a despot. You only need to read up on his abuse of the Native Americans to know the truth of the man. Jackson happily ignored the atrocities committed by Georgian forces when they violently wrestled Cherokee land away awarded to the group by the U.S. Supreme Court. Edward Anthony supposedly took this sinister daguerreotype of Jackson, sometime between 1844 and 1845, created thanks to the Mathew Brady studio.
