Andrew Johnson, Abraham Lincoln's VP became President after the assasination. He was ALMOST impeached. Similar names, easy mistake to make. General Jackson took a ragtag army of some 4,000 citizen soldiers that had no idea of military organization (but were excellent marksmen) and stunningly defeated
8,000 disciplined regulars of the British army that were fresh from victories against Napolean. This battle first defined the United States as a military power to be reckoned with and an independent democracy here to stay. And yeah, I'm damn proud of Andrew Jackson and his troops.
