Southern History Series:
Andrew Jackson’s
Southern Identity
! November 18, 2019
" Hunter Wallace
After reading Rich Lowry’s book The Case for
Nationalism, I came away from it stimulated with
an idea for a new project. What was American
Nationalism like when we controlled the idea of
America? Southerners ruled America from
Washington through Lincoln.
The following excerpt comes from Mark Cheathem’s
book Andrew Jackson, Southerner:
“Although most scholars describe Old Hickory as a
westerner, as representative of the transAppalachian frontier, Jackson was truly a
southerner. He was born and raised in the
Waxhaws regions of the most southern of states,
South Carolina, where he learned the path to
success included building an influential social
network, choosing a career in law, and acquiring
land and slave property. In Tennessee, Jackson
worked toward becoming a southern planter and
gentleman, although his enemies would have
disputed the latter. His desire to live as part of the
gentry was ever present, even as he defeated the
British at New Orleans in 1815, ascended to the
presidency in 1828, and built the Democratic Party
in the 1830s and 1840s. Jackson’s propensity
toward violence, defense of honor, enslavement of
African-Americans, embrace of kinship, and
pursuit of Manifest Destiny created a southern
identity to which many contemporary white
southerners, elite and non-elite, could relate. …”
Andrew Jackson was an Ulster Scot from the South
Carolina Upcountry which is ethnically and culturally
one of the most deeply Scots-Irish regions of the
United States. John C. Calhoun, who was Jackson’s
Vice President and rival, was from the same region
and background. Jackson and Polk were America’s
Scots-Irish presidents from Greater Appalachia and
both spent their careers fighting off calumnies from
Yankees who were bitterly opposed to national
expansion that benefited the South and who were
not in charge of America at that time.
“Had not James Hamilton, Jr., one of the prime
agitators, stated publicly that he supported
Jackson because he was “a Southern man, with
Southern interests and Southern feelings?” …”
The capital of Mississippi is named after Andrew
Jackson. Jacksonville in Florida is named after
Andrew Jackson in honor of the role he played in the
annexation of Florida. There is an equestrian statue
of Jackson mounted on horseback in Jackson Square
in New Orleans which honors the role he played in
the Battle of New Orleans at the end of the War of
1812. There are counties and cities named after
General Jackson all over the South who removed the
Indians to what is now Oklahoma to clear the path
to White settlement. He broke the Creek Indians at
the Battle of Horseshoe Bend here in Alabama. No
wonder he is hated by True Conservatives.
“Despite the political assaults that came his way
during the presidential campaign, Jackson won a
resounding victory. His electoral vote total of 178
swamped Adam’s 83; the 56 percent of voters who
supported Jackson with their ballot also spoke to
his undeniable triumph. The South gave Jackson a
clean electoral sweep. After having secured only
42.2 percent of the southern popular vote in 1824,
his percentage increased to 70.6 percent in 1828.
In three of the five Lower South states (Alabama,
Georgia, and Mississippi), Jackson won no less
than 81.1 percent of the popular vote. (The South
Carolina legislature gave its electoral votes to the
Jackson-Calhoun ticket, while the unique nature
of Louisiana’s politics garnered Jackson only 53
percent of the popular vote.) In the Upper South,
Jackson performed least well in Maryland (49.8
percent) and Kentucky (55.5 percent) but scored
significant victories in Virginia (69 percent),
Missouri (70.6 percent), North Carolina (73.1
percent), and Tennessee (95.2 percent).”
Jackson was hugely popular in the Old Southwest
due to Indian Removal which Rich Lowry describes in
his books as one of our great “national sins.”
According to conservative liberalism, things like race,
ethnicity, culture, religion and especially “identity
politics” are qualities which do not matter which is
pure ahistorical nonsense. These things are decisive.
America used to be a White Man’s Country until the
War Between the States and that was because our
ancestors controlled it. The institutional expression
of this sentiment was the Democratic Party. It all
came crashing down due to abolitionist agitation
and we got the Reconstruction amendments when
the Black Republicans took over Congress and
dissolved our states and placed the South under
military rule. This huge change was entirely due to
the shift in power from one ethnic group to another
in Washington. It would have never happened
otherwise.
Note: Food for thought.
Is it Andrew Jackson’s party or Abraham Lincoln’s?
Jefferson’s or Hamilton’s? The Republican
establishment and Conservatism, Inc. are out of
touch with their base. Why is that?

Andrew Jackson, however, was not a good
Southerner. He was a staunch Unionist who
proclaimed “The Union must and shall be preserved”
and bullied South Carolina during the Nullification
Crisis. He helped free negroes getting the right to
vote in Tennessee under its Constitution of 1796.

“Mr. Calhoun, if you secede from my nation I will
secede your head from the rest of your body.”
The quote is disputed but it does sound like good Ol’
Hickory.

I’m guessing that Old Hickory wanted to preserve
the Union because as a boy he fought for American
independence. If the Union broke up it might slip
back under British rule. And as we all know he hated
the British!
As far as the darkies are concerned Jackson was a
good, honorable man who believed in fairness. The
niggers feared and respected him. In return he didn’t
want to see them mistreated.

I think Jackson saw himself as the South, and South
Carolina, and the South Carolina politicians opposing
him as pygmies.

Lol. He was supposedly 6’2 at a time when the
average man was about 5’7 so that’s fair.

“Jackson worked toward becoming a southern
planter”

“Is it Andrew Jackson’s party or Abraham Lincoln’s?”
Well, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln were
both Southerners who used military force for their
own nefarious purposes. They were just like most
Southern presidents.

Andrew Jackson was much better than the blood
sucking politicians of today that are controlled by
the Jews. He was respected by everybody and yes a
Southerner. The Yankee Jews don’t like that. That’s
why he and other will eventually be removed from
our Jew money. He wasn’t a supporter of the Jew
Central Banking System. I’m sure the Jew would
really hate him now. Deo Vindice !

A lot of people dont know Lincoln corresponded
with Karl Marx regularly, that has to raise some
serious questions as to what Lincoln was really
doing.

You’re right, but it’s also true that Tsar Alexander II
sent a Russian warship into New York harbor as a
show of support for Mr. Lincoln’s Union.

I’m not sure Tsar Alexander was supporting Lincoln
as much as he was ensuring something other than
Britain and Mexico existed in North America..
Several civil war veterans are on record thanking
Russia for saving America, without Russia’s Navy in
New York harbour..the Northern States would have
ceded to Canada and the Southerns to Mexico..there
would be no U.S.A….the jews hated Tsar Alexander
for that and killed him a short time later, the
creation of the U.S.A interfered with the Rothschild
plan for world domination at that time
somehow..when we go back really far to the Vikings,
Russia and Europe were settled and created by
Vikings..so it kinda makes sense Alexander would
want America to exist as a Southern bufferzone
between the Aztec hoards, Russia and the
Anglosphere…I don’t recall the exact details, but at
some point, Alaska belonged to Britain and Western
Canada belonged to Russia, somewhere along the
way an Anglo Russo maritme agreement was
drafted that ceded Western Canada to Britain and
Britain gave Alaska to Russia…I can’t remember the
name of the agreement…but one thing is for sure,
Russia, Canada, Britain and the U.S.A were good
friends at one point, perhaps even part of the same
Empire to a degree and the jews have done
everything they can to make us forget that part of
history…its all about divide and conquer with these
kikes.

on Jackson the Great’s tombstone it says:
“I killed the Bank” –
meaning his courageous liquidation of Hamilton’s
2nd Rothschild National Bank –
and the Jews have hated him for it ever since.
(((They)))
hate Jackson like (((they))) hate Christ.
the first book I read about AJ was a venomous hitpiece
by the UC Berkeley commie-Jew professor (((Michael
Rogin))).

Jackson was one of the country’s few really great
presidents. His killing of the Second Bank of the
United States was probably the single best thing he
did in his presidency. The banking class of scumbags
had to wait until 1913, 80 years later to establish
their new parasite, the Federal Reserve.
20 years later that scumbag FDR illegally seized
private gold in 1933 then raised the official price
from 20 USD per Troy ounce to 35 USD per Troy
ounce. It was off to the races then with huge Federal
spending resulting in Nixon’s ending the exchange
of USD held by foreign governments for gold at
$35/Troy ounce in 1971. The Treasury had stopped
minting silver coins with even one grain of silver in
them in 1965.
This enabled Congress to bribe the people with their
own money and build Leviathan. This shell game is
coming to end now, no tree grows to the sky. The
economic troubles on the horizon will completely
discredit the “liberal” establishment.

Trump: thinks he’s a modern Andrew Jackson when
he’s really a modern James Buchanan.
Also Trump: Thinks he’s a modern Cyrus the Great
when he’s really a modern Julian the Apostate.
