He eliminated the national debt. He used the army to enforce tariffs in South Carolina, preserving the union for another generation. He won a decisive victory for this country against the British in New Orleans by making good tactical decisions.
Of course everything he did to the native Americans is regrettable or atrocious. But everything he did to the native Americans was either approved by Congress, or superior officers, or both. There were plenty of people who wished to share land with the natives and try to make peace. They just didn't win elections in those years.
And the way we remember him is also a mixed bag.
Our state has Jacksonville, yes, but it also has Osceola County.

So Andrew Jackson is a "mixed bag" but Robert E. Lee was evil correct?

In my opinion, yes.
Even Lee's valiant service in the war with Mexico was meant to gain new territory for slaveholders.
Can you name something good the man did that wasn't an effort to preserve or expand slavery?
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
