I stopped playing Brawl when I got really into Melee. I sold it to a friend for $25, probably more than I would've gotten a Gamestop for it.

They just don't make em like ole twenty dolla like they used to...
Andrew Jackson was very very cruel. No doubt about it he was our worst President. His signing of the Indian Removal Act was absolutely ridiculous.
He made a lot of questionable at best actions but I have a hard time thinking badly of him. He also wasn't the only president who ordered atrocities or stood by while atrocities happened to Native Americans.
He promised that any indian tribes that fought on his side during the war of 1812 would be allowed to keep there land. He broke his promise. There is no excuse for that.

Well Jimbo, he definitely had his detractors, but you should try to understand the context of the thinking of the times. Perhaps in 40 or 50 years you might get an epiphany on the topic.
He broke his promise to the indians. There is no excuse for a liar.
To just make it an open and shut situation is really not fair. Take some real American History courses from some different college professors and get a broader idea of what really was going on in that time period. Historians differ on how to view ole twenty dolla just like we do, but all of them understand what was going on. Get a better idea of all the nuances before you make a 2nd grade opinion like you are doing. I wish targetman our history buff was here to add his input.
Strike will agree that I am too lazy to type out my whole argument of twenty dolla...
thanks auto i would say this andrew jackson sorry i went to a cabin i will get back to this in a few
I fell out of my chair laughing at this one!
EVERY President breaks promises!
Who told you bull. I can't stand people who think that all politicians are lies. There are many members of Congress of course you are going to have a few unpleasant people but I believe that the large majority of them our honest people.
wait.....hahah..... so ........hahahaha........ you......hahahah.....are saying....hahahahah..... that the majority......hahahahahahahah of politicans do not lie!!!! (this post i had to use all 40 smiles)

I know what I am talking about. Yes at that time just about everyone had a grudge towards indians but honesty was also considered very important at that time. Much more than it is now.
I'm not getting into an argument with a mental midget. People much more educated than us can not even agree on this so I'm not expecting any different here.
What do historians know that we don't. If they think good of Jackson they sure must not know there facts.
i am studing to become a historian historans are some of the some of the smartest people on the planet why? cause they need to know alot about about a lot of differnt things such as bio,geology, english, culture, math, science. there are few people on this planet that can hold up to a lens and i will call them smart but a historan is a smart person and. there job is to KNOW THE FACTS. ok so do not call yourself better then a whole field you know nothing about.

JJM, historians are taught to see history in "gray" rather then "black and white" as many historical events had good and bad effects, as well as the people who caused those events. Just like Andrew Jackson. Yes, he did betray his native allies and force them out of their homes and historians do not excuse that, but there is always a flip side to something or someone and Jackson is no exception. He is the reason that the British were driven off for the final time in the War of 1812 (the Battle of New Orleans), and also made it possible for the common man (oh, like you and me and most everyone else) to vote, rather then being limited to white, christian, landowners. Historians see the give AND the take, not just one over the other. Historians make it their life's work to understand history for a reason, so that pseudo historians and alternate historians are not taken seriously by most people.
standing ovation by targetman this is post gets my offiacal seal of approval

Dude, you are clueless. How do you think they get the info to write those books? A book just doesn't magically appear for them to research from. Historians have to spend thousands of hours poring over obscure papers and diaries or anything to piece together what was happening in whatever time period they are studying. Get a clue.

Yeah, that's me. Geekiest looking guy ever, right?
Anyway, I did NOT drink any of that beer, I was just holding onto it for one of my family members, I swear officer.
Fun fact: In Ireland, the drinking age is 18.

I'f I met a historian who spells like you I'd be a little worried about the information he's telling me.
