Republicant ™ History of the United States: Andrew Jackson

It’s common knowledge that the Founding Fathers worked tirelessly to end slavery. And the final end of slavery would have come sooner than it did had it not been for Andrew Jackson, a vicious slave owner who was the founder of the Democrat Party and the first Democrat president.

The slaves freed by the Founding Fathers were starting to benefit from their new found liberty when Jackson became president (his election was marked by voter fraud and intimidation tactics used by Democrat operatives known as “community organizers”).  These freed African Americans were hard working, entrepreneurial, pious, patriotic, and family-oriented.

The remaining slave owners (all Democrats) knew they needed to find a way to undermine the freed African Americans’ increasing success.  Working with academics from elite East Coast colleges, they came up with a plan that would push these African Americans back into slavery by forcing them into something far worse. Under the guise of  “compassion,” Andrew Jackson pushed laws through the Democrat congress that forced African Americans to become dependent on government welfare. This dependency became known as “The Trail of Tears.”  Out of wedlock births, drug use, and crime, previously unknown in the African American community, became rampant. The formerly free African Americans realized that welfare was worse than slavery—at least, with slavery, they could keep their families together, as GOP leaders in Iowa reminded us just recently.

The former slaves sold themselves and their families back into slavery—exactly what Jackson and the Democrats wanted.  The abolition of slavery had to wait until the 1860’s, where it coincided with the Civil War (which had absolutely nothing to do with slavery).  It took men of courage and compassion, like General Robert E. Lee, to finally rid America of slavery without Democrat tricks, but that’s a story for another time.---SB
