The Cherokee did, especially when he had the US government forcibly remove them to Oklahoma and points west (virtually right past his home here in Nashville, the Hermitage).

Jackson was a rough, tough SOB, but the events leading up to, including, and following the Trail of Tears forced march was not one of his finest moments.

I’m guessing the right wing’s favorite faux-historian, David Barton, omitted that part of the story for Beck’s audience.
